Santa Saturdays
Saturdays from Nov. 25 through Dec. 23
While you are enjoying your Saturday drive through the enchanted Holiday Night Lights display, we encourage you to stop by the Kolb Building which has been transformed into a Winter Wonderland and say "Hello" to Santa. Santa will not be at Rotary Park on Christmas Eve because he has prior commitments at the North Pole.
Letters to Santa
Santa will make his way to the North Pole before we know it! Children may write him a letter using the provided template. Please drop off your letter during your visit or in one of the special mailboxes at Progress Park Recreation Center, around downtown historic Wentzville and of course at the Kolb Building during Santa Saturdays. Mailboxes will be up in late November.
