Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Bowen's lanes.
Yes, it's true. Santa and the elves are coming to the BICS gym for Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, December 8, from 9 to 11 a.m. with special guests, the Chillbillies. You will not want to miss out on this popular festive event. Our north pole experience lets you take part in reindeer games, Santa's workshop crafts. When you get hungry, you can head over for some homemade pancakes or cookie decorating in Santa's bakery. Visits with Santa are a must when you're at the north pole and, this year, Phoenix Photo and Dayna Purdy have generously offered to capture the moment. Digital images will be mailed directly to you free of charge, but canned food contributions for the Food bank or cash donations for the Christmas Hamper are greatly appreciated. And don't forget to bring a twoonie or two if you haven't yet purchased a Reindeer Raffle ticket for your chance to win a large basket of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory sweets as well as other generously donated prizes. All proceeds go to the Bowen Island Christmas Hamper. Come celebrate together and help to make Christmas a little more magical for everyone.
We can't wait - and neither should you. Breakfast with Santa is only one week away. Pre-registration is required by Wednesday, December 5. You can register online at www.bowencommunityrecreation.com or in person at the recreation office. Call 604-947-2216 for more information. Cost is $15 for individuals or $40 for a family.
