Santa & S’mores!

Come toast some marshmallows over an open fire and say hi to Santa! Join us at Commercial Park on Saturday, December 20th from 2 p.m. unit 4 p.m. for our annual Santa and S’mores Party. There will be s’mores making, “snowball” fights, storytelling, crafts, a hot chocolate bar, and Santa himself! (Weather permitting on the s’mores, of course- bonfires in the gym are a bad idea.)

Special thanks to Alderman Gilbert Villegas and the Chicago Public Library for their support!
