Santa’s Grotto at Churchill Square. It’s a race against time to get ready for Christmas Eve and Santa needs YOUR help!

Christmas Eve is coming soon so it’s all hands on deck, and your helpful hands are needed! Pick a toy from the “Whimsical Wish List”. Once your toys have been completed, it’s time to meet the big man himself. Watch Santa’s eyes twinkle as he inspects your toy and grants you a Top Toy Maker! www.churchillsquare.com
