Last Days for Santa's Mailbox

Santa's Mailbox is back at the Kirksey Recreation Center again this holiday season! Drop off a letter in the magical mailbox until Friday, Dec. 6, and we'll make sure it gets delivered in time for a response before Christmas!

There is no cost to mail Santa these letters, but make sure the child's name and address are on the letter to Santa so he can get a response to the correct location. Find our Facebook Event online!
