Breakfast with Santa, presented by the UW-Whitewater Community Optimists – Saturday, December 8

The UW-Whitewater Community Optimist Club is sparking some holiday cheer by serving a hot breakfast accompanied by Santa Claus and others from the North Pole.

The Optimist Club will be hosting their annual Breakfast with Santa event on Sat. December 8, 2018, from 8:00a.m.-10: 45 am at Esker Hall—which is located Northwest of Starin Park at the corner of Prairie Street and Lauderdale.

With an admission of $5 for adults and $1 for children, come for a breakfast of French toast, sausage, donut holes, and coffee, milk, and orange juice. Enjoy a morning filled with music, activities, and a special visit from Santa, Mrs. Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and many elves. Opportunities for printed and online photos will be available.

The holidays also bring about a time of giving, so we invite participants to bring new and unused hats, scarves, mittens, socks, underwear and gift cards to hang on Santa’s Mitten Tree.  All items will be donated to children of the Whitewater Unified School District.
