Festive extravaganza at mall
STEUBENVILLE -- The Fort Steuben Mall is about to transform into a winter wonderland as Screwy Louie's announces a magical holiday lineup for the entire family.
From Saturday through Dec. 23, Screwy Louie's will host Santa Claus every Saturday and Sunday for photos. And, starting Dec. 8, the Grinch will take center-stage on Fridays, offering a unique and mischievous twist to the traditional holiday photo experience.
Join Screwy Louie's and the Fort Steuben Mall Saturday for Small Business Saturday, celebrating local businesses and fostering community support. It's the perfect opportunity to discover unique gifts while supporting the entrepreneurial spirit within the community.

There is no admission fee, although donations will be accepted to support various non-profit organizations and cover the costs of this Christmas light show.
"We are thrilled to bring the magic of the holiday season to Fort Steuben Mall and Richmond Park," stated Buster Bowman, spokesperson for Screwy Louie's. "Our goal is to create a joyful atmosphere for the community and give families a memorable experience during this festive time of year."
During the light display, visitors can enjoy the offerings of local vendors, adding an extra layer of holiday spirit to the event. For information, contact Bowman at (740) 275-2030 or bbowman213@gmail.com
