With one holiday down and another right around the corner, Sumter County Recreation and Parks Department invites local children to have Breakfast with Santa from 8 to 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8, at 155 Haynsworth St.

This will be an opportunity for children to dine with the big man himself and make fun holiday crafts to take home. Pancakes, sausages, bacon and eggs will be served.

After breakfast, children will have an opportunity to make crafts such as ornaments and treats, said program director LaTrelle Chambers, and each child will receive a gift from Santa.

Parents will also be able to take pictures of their children with Santa at no cost.

Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased at the recreation department until Dec. 3.

Recreation department director Phil Parnell stressed that anyone interested must purchase tickets in advance because tickets will not be available the day of the event.
