“This is always a fun family event each year and our staff has as much fun as all the kids,” says Richard Selvik, General Manager of Clearman’s North Woods Inn, San Gabriel. “We are so pleased that Santa takes time out from packing up toys in his sleigh to spend time with us.”
Each child will be given a small gift and be sure to bring your cameras as Santa loves having his picture taken with the children. Each family will also receive a frame to put their picture in and hang on their tree. All kids must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
All of the Clearman’s family of restaurants will be closed Christmas day so that their staff may enjoy special time with their loved ones. But, reservations are welcome for the days before and after.
