It’s a busy time in Alton for Santa and his helpers. While Santa Claus himself is making regular appearances at Alton Square Mall (10 a.m. until 8 p.m. Saturday through Monday, noon until 6 p.m. on Sunday until Christmas Eve), his elves were busy putting up nearly 3 million lights for the annual Christmas Wonderland display at Rock Spring Park, 2116 College Ave. (6 until 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 5 until 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday through Dec. 27).
