Kids Holiday Store

Kids ages 4+ can sign up to get their parents and loved ones gifts this Christmas! On Saturday the 4th, during That Winter Thing, we will also be holding the Kids Holiday Store. Parents will pre-register their kids to experience this exciting event in the Chap. Your child will be taken through a wonderland of gifts (new or barely used) that have been donated by the community. Once they find the gifts they like for you or another loved one, their gift(s) will be wrapped by an elf and brought to you to put underneath your Christmas Tree! Every item they choose will be $5 each up to a maximum of $20. This is an event that requires you to pre-register. 

 That Winter Event and Kids Holiday Store require separate registration.
