Santa Claus is Coming to Jefferson!

The holidays can never arrive too early for children, and The Jefferson Township Recreation Department wants to help bring the season into town. They're inviting familes to greet Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Rudolph on Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Community Lodge at Camp Jefferson located at 81 Weldon Road. 

Santa will visit with the children from 9 a.m. to noon, and 1 to 3 p.m. 

In addition to visiting with Santa, there will be a host of special activities to mark the day: a special live animal show presented by Wallaby Tales entitled “Animal Friends”; holiday music; coloring pages for children; opportunities to write letters to Santa at the North Pole; a Scholastic Book Fair; and a model train display 

Santa will have small gifts for the children, and beverages and food items will be available for a nominal fee from the Jefferson Township Middle School Student Council and the Red Cross Club.  

Everyone is invited to join in the excitement and encouraged to bring a camera or video camera to catch those memorable shots. 

Donations are requested to the Jefferson Township Pantries.  Suggestions include non-perishable food items, paper products, household cleaning products, and toiletries to restock the township’s three food pantries.
