Cookies with the Clauses!
Having cookies with our favorite Christmas couple, the Clauses, has been so popular that this year Mr. & Mrs. Claus are having cookies twice! Now there are two dates and times to be sure all the kids can tell Santa their Christmas wishes over crafts and cookies and get their printed photo with Santa. Choose either Saturday, November 12th from 10 am – noon or Sunday, November 13th from 1 pm – 3 pm.
Cookies are being provided by our presenting sponsor Publix. Remember to purchase your Cookies with the Clauses tickets quickly as this event sold out last year! Tickets are $20 per child. Adults attend for free with a general admission ticket. Click here to purchase tickets.
