RIVER FALLS – Santa and Mrs. Claus will visit Mei Mei’s Cookies & Creamery from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13 and they are asking for the community’s help.

Santa is generous, as we all know, and he and the missus are asking the public to be as well. They are collecting donations of personal care products that the elves will drop off at River Falls Community Food Pantry or Our Neighbors’ Place. Items needed include:

• Toothbrushes and toothpaste for the snowmen
• Body wash for the abominable snowman
• Shampoo for the elves
• Deodorant for the reindeer
• Soap for the misfits
• Any other hygiene items you use day to day
• Cash and check donations also accepted for River Falls Community Food Pantry and Our Neighbors' Place. 

Although the event is free, signups are still required to take photos with Santa. They will take walk-ins only if scheduled sessions end faster than planned and time allows. Be sure to RSVP as going.

Collin Terrell Photography will be taking photos and providing a link for you to download all photos for free. No need to take your own. In fact, we prefer you didn't. Please take the opportunity to enjoy the moment and allow Collin to capture it for you. We would like to encourage you to also be in the photo with Santa, either with your children or on your own.
