Santa returns to Shake Rag Alley this Saturday, December 5, 2015.

Santa and Mrs. Clause will make a photo op appearance for two hours, 10am-12pm in the Shake Rag Alley Cabinet Shop.

Santa’s workshops will take place from 10am-3pm. Spend a fun family day decorating gingerbread cottages, making Christmas crafts and visiting Santa!

A new addition to Santa Day this year is the Mitten Project, coordinated by Carole Spelic and Christine Tharnstrom. Volunteers will guide you in making mittens and headgear for children and adults from a variety of fabric. The finished products will be donated to those in need through the Free Clinic and SWCAP program in Dodgeville, and the Mineral Point Elementary School. Drop in and spend some time helping out with this community project. Thanks to Carole and Christine for organizing “The Mitten Project: Warm Hands, Warm Hearts.”

The Santa Day tradition promises to be a fun event that will be sure to get you ready for the holidays. Join us and experience the magic of Shake Rag Alley during the enchanting winter season!
