Guests can enjoy the "Reindeer Coloring Station" sponsored by Jenny Allen and Kristen Studwell at Compass and "Letter Writing to Santa Station" sponsored by Greenwich Pediatric Dental Group," while waiting in line for their photo with Santa. A portion of all photos with Santa will be donated to Kids In Crisis, a non-profit organization based in Greenwich, but serves all of Connecticut. A Kids In Crisis Giving Tree will also be available for people to support their important mission. Greenwich Braces returns as the Reindeer Stable Sponsor. This all takes place just minutes from downtown Greenwich. Parking is free. Children, adults, and all dogs (on leashes) can have their photo taken with Santa at Santa's Workshop.
