Have you heard the news? Santa is coming to town!
Each year as he gets down to the business of checking that Naughty or Nice List, he schedules a little working vacation time in Highlands. He thinks it’s the perfect place to kick back, relax, and make sure that that all-important list gets the attention it deserves.
Luckily for Highlanders, Santa never likes to be too far from his work so he makes time to have children visit with him and hear their wish lists while he is in town. Don’t miss a great chance to visit with Santa, have a photo taken and put in those last-minute requests.
This year he will be at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park on Friday after Thanksgiving, after the Christmas Tree Lighting on November 26, and Saturdays in December before Christmas from 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. The exceptions are December 3 and Christmas Eve. On December 3, he and Mrs. Claus will be special guests at Highlands Olde Mountain Christmas Parade. He’ll be on hand after the parade until 3:00 P.M. Christmas Eve, of course, is his busiest time of the year, so he’ll be back at the North Pole packing his sleigh.
If you have questions about Santa’s busy schedule or the events that mark Highlands’ holiday season – the Olde Mountain Christmas Parade or the worship schedules of local churches – contact the Highlands Visitor Center at (828) 526-2112.
