We will be holding a vendor fair this spring for our Ladies Night Out event on Saturday, May 2, 2026 from 4:00 - 8:00pm. We are looking for vendors and businesses who would be interested in renting a booth space. Booth size is 8ft x 10ft, and will cost $50. Two spaces will cost $100. You get hors d'oeuvres included with your booth rental.

We are also looking for boutiques who are interested in having their clothing modeled as the event will include a fashion show. We can partner with you to find models if you are unable to supply your own. The number of boutiques that want to participate will determine the number of outfits/models needed but anticipate it will be between 3 - 6 different looks.

The Salem Community Women would like to share our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped make this year’s Hometown Christmas such a joyful and memorable celebration. From the Parade of Lights on Main Street to the Live Nativity and the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus, the evening was filled with holiday spirit.

Special thanks to those who created the beautifully decorated trees and festive artwork at the McCook County Courthouse—your creativity brought extra cheer to our community. We’re also grateful to the Caffeine Corral for serving up delicious beverages alongside the courthouse refreshments, and to Christ Lutheran Church for hosting the Kids Christmas Store. A big thank you as well to our local businesses who stayed open late, giving families the chance to find that perfect holiday gift.

We appreciate TrioTel Communications for sponsoring Bingo, the McCook Central Junior Class for hosting the Soup Supper, and the First Dakota Treat Trailer for adding festive warmth and treats.

Most of all, we are deeply thankful for the volunteers, participants, and anyone else who give their time and talents throughout the day. This tradition would not be possible without you, and together you helped create a day filled with holiday spirit, community pride, and lasting memories

Thank you for making Salem's 2025 Hometown Christmas truly magical!

Tonight's the night! Parade starts at 7pm - if you're a participant, start lining up on the northwest corner of the park on Main Street, wrapping around the park. Please drive by Leisure Living before lining up. I will be going live on Facebook to stream the parade for anyone who can't make it to the parade. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate with us, so please enjoy the live nativity at the Legion and bring the kids to see Santa and Mrs Claus at the Legion following the parade.

Just a reminder, the Hometown Christmas Parade is less than 2 weeks away! But don't worry, there's still plenty of time to join in the fun, and any mode of transportation is welcome.
Plus don't worry about getting candy, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be handing out treat bags for the kids. For everyone's safety we don't want kids (or their parents) scrambling for candy in the dark.
To register a float or ask questions, contact Stephanie D***s at 605-940-9919 or Brandi McPherson at 605-505-0737.

Just a reminder, there's plenty of time to enter the parade!

ROLLin’ into Homecoming with a Sweet Twist!

This year, we’re switching things up from our traditional bake sale—and we think you’re going to love it. Instead of a full spread of baked goods, we’re focusing on the fan favorites: frosted and caramel rolls that always fly off the table first! Rolls will be offered individually for $1.50 each, or a box of 4 for $6.00.

Even better? We’re teaming up with the Caffeine Corral, parked right next to our booth, so you can grab a hot cup of joe to pair perfectly with your roll and enjoy it right on Main Street, as there will be seating provided. Plus, for each beverage sold they are donating $1.00 to our organization!
