BEDFORD – It’s the most wonderful time of the year, as Santa and Mrs. Claus will be making their way back to Bedford from December 8th-10th, from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. each night.
Families can gather at the Otis Park Bath House to purchase their tickets for sleigh rides to meet with Santa for $2 per visitor. While waiting for the sleigh to arrive, families can enjoy the warmth of the Bath House where there will be coloring, along with cookies and refreshments available for purchase from Tri-Kappa Sorority.
Once the sleigh arrives it will take groups on a wonderful ride to the top of the hill to Santa’s House. Families can visit with Santa to tell him what they want for Christmas, and hear a story from Mrs. Claus, as Santa’s elves pass out treats for all to enjoy.
If you are unable to make it out to visit Santa, there is no need to fret. Families can stop by the Bedford Parks office at 1625 Q Street to pick up forms to send letters to Santa. Letters are due at the Parks Office no later than Monday, November 28th at 11:30 a.m.
The information needed on each letter includes:
- Child’s Name (First and Last, as well as gender)
- Home Address
- Specific item the child wants for Christmas (Toys, Teddy Bears, Clothes, etc.)
- and a phone number for the person submitting the letter to the department in case of any incomplete forms
Each letter will then be sent to the North Pole for Santa to receive and read. For more information about the Santa events, you can call the Parks Office at (812)275-5692, or send an email to jwebb@bedford.in.us or amcintyre@bedford.in.us.
