## About

Children hunt for Santa's elves hidden in Kimmswick's participating shops using a gift bag with an Elf Guide and a riddle-and-clue booklet, claiming a small prize at each shop's register. Santa is in the Santa House on the same weekend afternoons, and a toy donation earns a $5 gift card. Tickets go on sale November 4 at 10 AM (online plus fees, or cash/check at the Visitor Center).
