‘Tis the season for Santa’s Helpers

It’s time for Downtown Marceline Foundation‘s annual “Find Santa’s Helpers” event!

Find Santa's Helpers | Downtown Marceline

How does that song go? Oh yes, Santa Claus is Coming to Town… and he’s bringing his helpers!

Santa is scheduled to arrive during Peanut Night – but an advance team of his helpers are expected to be in Marceline between Sunday, November 17th and Saturday November 30th. Santa’s little helpers can be just a bit mischievous though, and they’re very good at hiding. So, children of all ages and their families are encouraged to hunt for these crafty creatures inside the stores along Main Street USA. Each participating store will have a poster of a helper’s hat in their front window (like the one below,) so you know where to search for the hiding helpers.

As the helpers still have work to do at the North Pole, they must be found before the participating Main Street businesses close on November 30th. Children wishing to help Santa find his elusive helpers need to pick up a game card at any of the participating businesses. Once a child has found a helper, an employee will initial the box on their card. Children finding all of Santa’s helpers should leave their completed card at any participating business before they close on (or before) Peanut Night for a chance to win one of four $25 M.A.D. Money prizes!

The drawing will take place on Tuesday, December 3rd, and parents will be notified if your child’s card was drawn.
Adults, please be sure to accompany the kids while in the shops.
There’s no cost to participate, and children need not be present to win.

Come visit Main Street USA and stop by these businesses to find the helpers:
