On Saturday, December 14th, visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.   Everyone is invited to stop by to get a picture taken with Santa, and let Mrs. Claus help decorate a cookie to take home. While you’re there, you’ll be able to enjoy the songs of the season while warming up with a cup of hot chocolate.  You’ll also want to check out the shelter house to see it all decked out for Christmas!
