Event #2 - Santa's Workshop

On the 2nd of December my work held an event called Santa's Workshop. This is a yearly event that they have in order to raise money for their financial aid program. In this event families attend and do crafts with their children, eat some food, and children can sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. This year the event was held at the Champlin Lodge which is a building at the Kent County YMCA that actually looks like a place Santa would work in. The whole building was decorated to look like Santa's workshop and the children loved it. The children would come dressed up to sit on Santa's lap, the children could make gingerbread houses, and create letters to Santa that would go in a mailbox that would magically ship them straight to Santa's house. Every year this event brings in hundreds of families and it is one of the largest events the YMCA holds each year. It was a pleasure being part of it and helping children make letters to Santa, seeing their faces light up when they slipped the letter into the mailbox was priceless.
