A free buffet luncheon will be served and Santa will arrive with gifts for all children in attendance. There will be karaoke for the kids and free pictures with Santa.

Those planning on attending are asked to stop by the Wilkeson Eagles after 4 p.m. Thursday or Friday and sign up their children. This way, Santa will know what gifts to bring.
