WAYNESBURG – Santa Claus will be the focus of two upcoming activities hosted by the Greene County Department of Recreation.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be the special guests at “Breakfast with Santa” from 9 to 11 a.m. Dec. 6. The event is sponsored by the Greene County commissioners and the Department of Recreation.

The breakfast starts at 9 a.m. on the lower level of the 4-H Building at the Greene County Fairgrounds. Admission is $8 per person and includes a delicious breakfast catered by Chef Dan Wagner, culinary arts instructor at the Greene County Career and Technology Center. Children will also receive a picture with Santa, a Santa hat, Christmas crafts and special treats. A Christmas coloring contest will be held, with prizes for winners in different age categories.

Also, now through Dec. 12, local children are invited to send letters to Santa in care of the Department of Recreation. Any child wishing to receive a personalized letter from Santa can simply send a letter with a completed letter request form to Greene County Department of Recreation, ATTN: Santa Claus, 107 Fairgrounds Road, Waynesburg, PA 15370.

Letter request forms include the child’s contact and basic information, including any gifts requested from Santa, and must be completed by a parent or guardian. Forms will be available from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 5 at the Holiday Open House in Downtown Waynesburg. They are also available online at www.co.greene.pa.us, or by calling 724-852-5323.

A completed form must accompany each letter, and please limit one request per child.

There is no cost for a letter from Santa as funding has been provided through various sponsors and fundraising efforts the Department of Recreation holds throughout the year. Children should receive the letters before Christmas.
