Santa lives in Penticton

11/11/2024

6? Years ago the Elf and I had Volunteered at OCNS working with children, many on the spectrum. One of the kids...Noah...we first met in the gym area and he was such a fun kid. Was so cool to work with. We kept meeting up with Noah in out of the blue things...the Mall once and at a kids 'do' at the RCMP offices.

Yesterday...a boy was talking to the Elf...and saying..."I know him"...Sharon got a profile look at him...and sure enough....it was Noah! It was was crazy good to see him and engage.

Well we know Christmas just ended but people have been asking about Santa already for next year! We already have him booked for 3 weekends Nov 24-26, Dec 1-3 and 8-10 and bookings have officially opened!

November 24 is pending release of times as this may be a special location (not at the Toy Lodge and not in West Kelowna) where we will announce once finalized if staying at the Toy Lodge in West Kelowna or moving that specific day only to a pop up location in Summerland.

In the meantime the rest of the days are now open to book. Please note for 2023 we will not be allowing rebookings last minute as it caused a few complications this year.

Santa Gary is returning. Photographer is too early to announce.

And here we are...2023. Seems like that took a minute, eh...

Thank you to all that made our Santa season such a roaring success. I went back and looked at my calendar and it seems like in excess of 35 dates. Geeeezus..no wonder we were tired!

We are off on a vacation now...back in the Okanagan in April.

For those expressing concern, the Santa account has now been fully addressed.

Have a great 2023....and we'll be seeing you next winter..or sooner, even....

Santa Gary and his wonderfully naughty Elf, Sharon.

Santa is trimmed and ready for his winter hobby...travelling in the 4x4 RV....thank you for following and we'll see you next fall.
