Christmas Came to Clearbrook Saturday, December 11, 2021
Today at Clearbrook, Santa came to town. LOTS of people came to see Santa and got to see the art too!
Winter Wonderland at Tackett's Mill - Clearbrook Center of the Arts
Wow, there were a LOT of families that came out to Clearbrook today to meet Santa and enjoy all of the events going on. And it was FREE. It went from 12 - 2 and immediately there was a long line out the door of tiny tots waiting to visit with Santa.
These photos were taken late - about 1:45 when the lines were dwindled down considerably.
Santa was great, from his whiskers to the bells on his boots and his gold belt buckle that had "Believe" on it
Santa's helpers were everywhere - a few doing balloon characters, several taking pictures AND with a reindeer, working with Santa, Olaf and Ana from Frozen and helping all around.
This guy did a ton of art with all the visitors and stayed until well after 2 to finish the line
The line for Santa wrapped through the space and out the door for a long time. There were goodies given out to the kids - but the crowd was HUGE.
Waiting for Santa
We talked to a lot of people and had some great laughs, all while listening to live Christmas music. The kids were adorable and it was fun to see their eyes light up once they spotted Santa. Except one 3 month old baby - that little guy wasn't impressed with the dude in red at all.
By the way Ken, I have to ask, where is your phone?

Who is your artist-in-residence? HE did a good job to keep painting with all the activity.
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda, There may have been more than one artist painting - and all of the people there were hired by Tacketts Mill / Clearbrook - I did not catch the guys name. He was really good though. There were a LOT of people there that day.
