Who’s getting excited??? The year long effort of so many crafting elves has resulted in over 6000 gifts 🎁 for our young shoppers to choose from. Mrs Claus 🧑🏻‍🎄 and her mighty band of elves are ready to greet all children ages 5 to 12 during the weekend days of the Christmas Market - November 9, 10, 16 and 17. Please note that the Shoppe is NOT open on Thursday or Friday.

For anyone new to the KOS, children can shop with the assistance of an elf (a KOS volunteer) for the perfect gift(s) for family members. Gifts are wrapped and tagged so their choices are a surprise for the lucky recipient. All gifts are $15 or less and there is something for every budget. The Shoppe is located in the Picnic Shelter and Mrs Claus will be out front to greet all visitors. Parents are welcome to stay warm by the fire and/or sit at the picnic tables while they wait. Cash, debit or credit cards are accepted.

The KOS November newsletter is here https://www.millarvilleracetrack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/KOS-Newsletter-Issue-11.pdf.

New volunteers are always welcome. See you soon! 👍🏻🎁🎉🥳🎅🏻🎄⛄️❤️
