Christmas is just two weeks away and many of the public events are behind us, leaving room for churches and family observances the 2025 holiday season in Logan County is in the home stretch. The Logan Journal has been striving to compile an extensive calendar of holiday events in the Land of Logan. Our sources have been primary Logan County Tourism, WRUS, and Facebook.
We hope to continue to update the list as we are made aware of more events. This does not include money-making sales and other similar events, but businesses doing a public service are welcome to submit items for inclusion. Graphics are welcome.
The best way to make us aware of events is to send an email to jimturner@loganjournal.com
