It’s once again that time of year for Santa to visit Great Bend a little early to help with this year’s Santa’s Workshop.

Great Bend High School students, community volunteers and Great Bend Recreation Commission staff will be transforming the City Auditorium into Santa’s Workshop.

The 20th Annual Santa’s Workshop will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 5, in the City Auditorium.

People are asked to enter through the doors located on the southwest corner of the auditorium. This free Christmas event is designed for preschool through 6th graders and their families and those young at heart.

Children can proceed to any or all the fun booths for food, craft activities and candy treats. Santa and Mrs. Claus will make an appearance. Free popcorn, candy, prizes and balloons will await everyone.

The Parents As Teachers, Parent Teacher Resource Center, Sunflower Early Education Center and Great Bend Public Library Children’s Department will provide a mini Santa’s Workshop designed for preschoolers in the Burnside Room in the Recreation Center. For this event, enter through the northeast door of the Burnside Room, 1214 Stone St.
