Gift of Time

Families with young children are invited to come to Lancaster High School to celebrate a “Gift of Time.” Each child present, between the ages of birth and 8 years old, accompanied by an adult, can visit Santa, get a free book, do a few activities, and collect more crafts to do at home together as a whole family. As a parent, this “gift of time” is the best gift you can give your child. Stop by and see the Fairfield DD table!

The event runs from 10:00-12:00, but there is a sensory Santa experience from 9:00-10:00. To make this free reservation, call 740.689.1494 ext. 203.
