​'Tis the season once again for our annual Breakfast with Santa extravaganza! And this year is going to be the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny Kaye! Join us on Saturday, December 15th, starting at 9:00 am. We'll have food and drink for the whole family, followed by a visit from everyone's favorite omniscient benefactor (and winner of the 1987 North Pole Beard Contest), Santa Claus! The kids can tell him what they want for Christmas and take pictures, and then we'll cap everything off with a mind-blowing show by magician and funnyman, Eric Vaughn! This program is FREE and open to everyone. See you there! Ho, ho, ho!
