How excited would your child/ren be if Santa came and personally delivered them a present?  Well now you can find out.  With the Santa Sleigh Visit, Santa will deliver and visit at your home to surprise and encourage your child/ren.  Parents are asked to deliver a wrapped gift with your child/ren names and the present and a message for them so Santa can have a nice conversation when he gets to your house.  This is sure to be a memory your kids will never forget! Please drop off your gift at the Westmont Community Center by Friday, Dec 10th.

Monday, December 13-Wednesday, December 15 will be the north side of town from 4:30-8pm.
