If you would like for Santa's entrance to be really big, here are two tracks to choose from.
Home Visits (limited availability)
Imagine their faces when their own Santa Claus walks through the door!
Santa will read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas or Polar Expess, visit with all children young and old, lead carols, tell stories, play games, and/or conduct a stocking and tree inspection. If desired, Santa can deliver presents (host provides).
While I have a set performance agenda, I allow the children to set the pace of my visit. Very young children can be quite apprehensive of Santa, so I will allow more time for them to 'warm up' to me. You may video or take as many photos as you like , in the comfort of your own home, while Santa visits.
Mrs Claus is not available for home visits.
Party / Breakfast with Santa Event
A Christmas Party is a great way to showcase your organization, to thank your employees or customers. A Breakfast with Santa Event is a great way to raise funds for your organization. And, who better than Santa or Mrs C to represent your event to the public?
Black Hills Santa is a skilled and experienced public speaker, having emceed various events and has presented in front of large audiences. Mrs Claus has taught school and been a Girl Scout leader. Her experience with children is immeasurable and when Santa or Mrs Claus speak, people listen! The Clauses will work with you to understand your public relations goals and messages.
Most parties are 1-2 hours and Breakfast with Santa events are 2-2 1/2 hours. If your event will be a different time let us know and we'll price accordingly. And, with our portable Santa set, we can make your party planning a little easier. Our set has a beautiful background, lit tree with "Merry Christmas" tree skirt, and Santa's bench with holly and snowflake design. We'll set up the set you choose before the event and take it down afterwards, saving you time and fuss, allowing you to do other host duties. Our set rental ($50) will look like the picture to the left.
Don't leave the success of your holiday event to an inexperienced Santa, Mrs Claus, or gimmicky character.
