Santa, Tree Lighting and Elf at the Egyptian Theatre
Join us at the Coos Bay Visitor Center at 5ish on November 25th for cookies and cider while caroling. Santa and the Mayor will light the tree around 5:30ish, then over to the Egyptian Theatre where Santa will take the wish list from children and they get a candy cane. The movie Elf starts around 7ish. Bring clean, new socks rolled into a ball for the sock-ball fight during the snow ball fight scene. The donated socks will go to local homeless shelters. Elf will also show at 2pm on Saturday with Santa ahead of time. Then Santa goes back to the North Pole and there is a 7pm showing of Elf.
CBDA Reindeer Roundup
Join the Coos Bay Downtown Association starting on November 28th for the Downtown Reindeer Roundup. Ruckus has convinced Santa’s reindeer to explore downtown instead of going back to the north pole following Santa’s visit. The reindeer will be hiding in businesses downtown.
Find the reindeer in participating businesses, take a picture and then fill out an entry form to be entered to win a grand prize. (Business hours vary)
The event will end on December 21st when the reindeer will return to the north pole to help Santa deliver toys to children around the world.
