## About

Mrs. Claus visits Chaffey Town Square at Victoria Gardens on Saturday, December 12, to read holiday stories to children and pose for photos. Alongside the readings, children can make a Santa's Magic Key at a craft workshop, decorating their own key to leave out on Christmas Eve. The two-hour drop-in window from 11 am to 1 pm suits preschoolers and early elementary children, who can listen to a story or two and then sit down at the craft table. It is a calmer, daytime alternative to the evening light shows, and the square's Christmas tree and decorations make a good photo backdrop.
