NEW this year -- a hot beverage station at the fire barn. Cookies, apple cider donuts and popcorn will also be available there. Also NEW this year – welcoming firepits and benches set up outside the fire barn. NEW this year, some villagers will be traveling through the village with their one horse carriage to meet and greet our visitors!
Children will also enjoy crafts and writing letters to Santa in the school house. The letters can be mailed in the special North Pole mailbox, or taken directly to Santa when they visit with him in the Depot.
Parents may also choose to send their children's letters to Santa in a self-addressed envelope (not sealed) to the event. Soon after the event, children will receive a letter in the mail from Santa.
