This is an authentic Christmas experience that is open to the public and is a free will donation. Families will have the opportunity to walk through over 40 decorated trees from local businesses and individuals, take photos with Santa, make a few arts and crafts, enjoy a fun filled hot coco bar, fill up on some homemade holiday desserts, and make a homemade Christmas bulb in honor of a military hero no longer with us. 

The theme this year is The Polar Express, we encourage kids to wear their pjs (or dress to the nines), bring Santa a letter to take back the the North Pole, and come be a part of this worthy cause. 

100% of every donation raised will go back to Swingin’ Fore Soldiers supporting military families across Iowa.
