The event will be from 5:30-7pm. It will be the same activities and plans we had for the special Saturday event, except since it will be in the evening there will be a supper meal instead of a light breakfast. Santa will be there!!! It is $5/family. Families who attend our regular Tuesday evening ECFE class will get in for free. Families with a pass to our Family Fun Nights can use their pass to attend. Please let us know if you have any questions.😊
