Ho Ho Ho! Santa had a great time visiting all of the good girls and boys!

Santa's such a great guy - he's even a 'dog person'. After the tour Santa relaxed at the Optimist Centre parking lot with his little doggo 'Chips' where people were able to drive by and drop off food donations for Contact House in Forest.

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed!​

We were so honoured to win FIRST PRIZE at the Forest Santa Parade with our gingerbread themed float! Thanks to our President and Vice President Karen and Tony Puzara for providing the vision, gathering and distributing materials and putting it all together, not to mention being out in the cold for hours. Also great delegation and knowing that everyone would do their part - that’s leadership. A shout out to all of Santa's Optimist elves who worked so hard to create all of the different elements involved: Garrett our right hand guy, Jim our talented woodworker, our painters Pattie, Doug, Derek, John, Marcia, Paul, Janice and Petar. Well done all!
