SANTA IS COMING to our 2nd Annual "Thanks for Giving" event!
Yes, you heard that right! Word is that he's bringing a magical reindeer and Elsa!
Santa and friends will be coming to 91 S Franklin Street at the corner of S. Franklin and W. Northampton in the Gather Community Space/1st Presbyterian Church building beside Osterhout Free Library.
I've been told parking is free at Boscov's on the weekends.
SANTA will be on hand for the children to visit with.
When they visit Santa, they will receive "Santa bucks" that they can then use to "purchase" gifts for the adults in their lives.
After shopping, they will have the opporunity to decorate an ornament to take home.
All attendees must register at entrance and will be entered into our prize pot for a chance to win one of several donated door prizes!
