Santa Claus Is Coming To TOWN! First Stop, Sparks!

Reno-Sparks Scheels Is Hosting a Santa Meet And Greet This Weekend!

By Danielle Wagner, Macaroni KID Publisher North Reno-Sparks-Spanish Springs December 16, 2024

Here Comes Santa Claus, Here Comes Santa Claus, 

Right Down Santa Claus Lane! 

I mean, Scheels Drive in Sparks


The Reno-Sparks Scheels will host a Santa meet and greet for FREE photos this weekend! Children can tell Santa and his Elves what they want for Christmas, while cameras and lights flash as parents capture their kids joyful expressions as they share their Christmas wishes and receive a warm hug and treat from the Man in Red himself!


Special Treats range from an Activity Book, a piece of Candy

and even a Token to ride the Ferris Wheel


Charlotte, my wild 5-year-old decided she wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel, after our photos we jumped in line, and let me tell you. Once it was our turn, the look of sheer terror on her face as she realized just how big it was actually was, made another kids day when she happily passed on her token so another family could share that fun and special moment. She said when she's 6 years old she'll go on it. I'll keep you updated.
