December 9, 2011 (Santee) – Santa and snow are in the forecast for Sunday, December 11 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the annual Santa at the Lakes at Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve. Tons of snow for sledding, Santa visits, and s’mores around the fire are highlights of this year’s event.

Bring your coat and gloves to go sledding down our real snow hill! When you’re ready to warm up from the snow, enjoy visits and photos with Santa, pony rides, a petting zoo, hay rides, holiday art activities, carnival rides, inflatables and a fire ring for the whole family to make s’mores.

Santa appears in his pedal boat for photos and wish lists. Enjoy hayrides and boat rides with the whole family. Kids can make holiday crafts including reindeer hats, holiday bag decorating, bird feeders, ornaments, Santa’s Stocking Factory and cookie decorating. Holiday music and decorations, as well as tasty food at Feliz Nacho Dogs are all part of the festivities.
