Here Comes Santa!

(Hamilton, NY) “Santa called last week and he is ready to visit with all the good little boys and girls until 6 p.m. Then he’s off to visit children around the world,” says Patricia von Mechow, Santa’s local elf. “Of course, he’ll be back December 24!”

The Palace Theater is magically transformed into a wonderland where young and old alike can visit with Santa, Mrs. Clause and elves. The train conductor greets everyone as they enter The North Pole with a special ticket to “ride” the North Pole Express. After having your ticket punched start your journey around the world on your way to Santa. There are places to visit and things to do; holiday crafts and reindeer games to play. Mrs. Claus will help you sign her special quilt so Santa knows who has visited him this year while the Head Elf checks The List for your name. Of course there are homemade delicious holiday cookies and hot chocolate. Enjoy the fun free afternoon for the entire family.

It’s a magical moment so capture it forever! The Hamilton Lion’s Club will be ready to snap a digital photo of your child with Santa. Stop by their table and make a request. For only $5 you’ll be able to take the photo home that day in a decorative holiday card! They’ll also be selling tickets for their holiday basket raffle filled with wonderful gifts. All proceeds from the photos and raffle go toward Lion’s projects in the greater Hamilton community.

A special thanks to Kinney Drugs for their donation of candy canes, Price Chopper for cookies and hot chocolate, Vernon Ross for donating the holiday trees, Cynthia Mannino, Kathleen Buck, Kathleen Stahl, Kirsten Weyter, John Mayer, Gail Young, and Barb Bowen.

Continue the holiday tradition by attending the live theater production of Babes In Toyland, performed by American Family Theater on Saturday, December 12 at 1:30pm. Call The Palace Theater for tickets information.

Visit www.palacetheater.org or call 824-1420 to speak to his personal local Elf. The “North Pole” (Palace Theater) is located at 19 Utica Street, in historic downtown Hamilton within easy walking distance of free parking, boutiques and casual dining. Happy Holidays one and all!
