Sneaky Elves Workshops
Drop the kids off or stay and play. We’ll have a number of handmade one-of-a-kind gifts for the kids to create and wrap so they can be part of the giving!

Meanwhile head downtown for some last minute shopping.
All ages over five unless accompanied by an adult • Two days! Friday December 21 and Saturday 22 • 10:00 am-3:00 pm • $15 each child (no preregistration)
