Santa at the Wellness: Cocoa, Cookies, and Community Spirit

On Tuesday, December 17th, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM, Santa will be spreading holiday cheer at the Gaukler Family Wellness Center.

The holiday season is a time for magic, joy, and coming together. What better way to celebrate than with a visit from Santa Claus himself? On Tuesday, December 17th, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM, Santa will be spreading holiday cheer at the Gaukler Family Wellness Center. This free community event invites families and individuals to take a photo with Santa, enjoy cookies and cocoa, and share their Christmas wishes with the man in red.

Santa* has become a cherished part of our community over the years. More than just a symbol of the season, Santa has been an incredible partner and advocate for Valley City. He is a familiar face at local sporting events, cheering on our teams and bringing smiles to young fans. His presence reminds us of the spirit of generosity and connection that makes Valley City so special.

Working with Santa* is always an inspiring experience. He approaches every event with enthusiasm and a genuine love for people. Whether he’s posing for countless photos, chatting with children about their wish lists, or simply enjoying a cup of cocoa alongside community members, Santa embodies the true meaning of the holidays: giving and togetherness.

We’re thrilled to host Santa at the Gaukler Family Wellness Center again this year. It’s a perfect opportunity to take a break from the hustle and bustle, savor some festive treats, and create lasting memories. And if you see Santa* around town—perhaps cheering at a game or attending a community event—don’t forget to say thank you. His dedication to our community doesn’t go unnoticed, and we’re grateful for the joy and support he brings to all of us.

Mark your calendars and join us on December 17th for an evening of holiday magic with Santa. Let’s make this season one to remember!

Thank you, Santa (Cal Lee), for all you do!
