Tis the season to seek out some face time with Santa, so you can share your Christmas wishes, snap a photo, and collect holiday memories. Though Santa has a busy few weeks head of him in preparation for Christmas, his elves have assured him they’ll assist at his North Pole workshop so he can carve out plenty of time to meet with children in the Deerfield Valley.

Below are Santa’s current plans in the area over the next few weeks. Be sure to check back each week — if Santa adds more cheer to his schedule, we’ll update this list.

Saturday, December 2

Readsboro Central School and Community Library, sometime between 8 am and noon, 301 Phelps Lane, Readsboro

During the eighth grade’s pancake breakfast, Santa will make an appearance sometime between 8 am and noon. Pancakes, sausage, juice, and coffee will be served for $8 per adult and $5 per child. The event will benefit the eighth grade trip.

Santa will take pictures and give out gifts while the Dover Elementary School children’s choir sings traditional holiday songs. Holiday refreshments will be available as well.

Santa will arrive by firetruck at noon and will take pictures while families choose their Christmas cookies. The line for cookies starts at 11am, so don’t be late! If any families would like to donate cookies, donations will be happily accepted if they’re dropped off at the town hall by 10 am the day of the event.
