Every year we have a little hut for the kids to come visit Santa.  We usher him into town on a fire truck and then after we provide the community free hotdogs, coffee &/or hot chocolate to everyone in attendance.  We cups have a soup cook-off and do giveaways for those in attendance including each child gets a stocking filled with fun stuff and toys/gift cards/etc that we raffle off.  This is a completely free event!  We have had individuals/businesses set up tables to give stuff away with us that day as well as asking us to put their stuff in our stockings.  We do a Santa’s helper night where we stuff stockings, raffle off  fun stuff and raise money for toys for the underprivileged in our community the night before.  We supply pizza and soda for all in attendance.
