Santa Claus will be making an early stop at the Northeast Texas Children’s Museum for the annual Brunch with Santa. This year’s event will be on Saturday, December 3 from 9:30 to 11:30. Commerce Lil’ Angels will provide a pancake breakfast. Christmas crafts, Christmas trains, and, of course, Santa Claus, will make the event a wonderful way to begin the Christmas Season.
Santa will be traveling to Commerce and is looking forward to seeing the children. He is also looking forward to seeing the Children’s Museum. The many play areas inside and in the Great Outdoor Discovery Area will provide an opportunity for children to discover, create, and participate in imaginative play.
“This is my favorite event of the year,” said Sharline Freeman, Executive Director. “It is exciting for us to see the children so happy with the excitement of Christmas.”
In addition to Brunch, several Christmas craft areas will entertain the children. They may write a letter to Santa and mail it at the Children’s Museum. Ornament crafts and Christmas bracelets will also be available. Children will also have the opportunity to play in all the exhibits. They can make bubbles in the Kiwanis Bubble Room, doctor the dogs in the Commerce Veterinary Clinic, buy groceries in the Brookshire’s Grocery exhibit, milk a cow, or play in any of the other play areas.
“This event has become a highlight for families in northeast Texas,” said Beckey Thompson, board president. “It is a great way to begin the Christmas season.”
Get your cameras ready, bring your wish list and say “hello” to jolly, old Saint Nick. Tickets for the event are $8 .00 per person and are $10.00 at the door on the day of the event. For more information, call the Northeast Texas Children’s Museum at (903) 886-6055.
