Magic at Santa and the Timbers Elves Party in Shorewood

Michael Ralls with his sisters Ginger and Shirley, of Channahon, watch a magic act by John Meyers, of Ottawa, during the 13th annual “Santa and the Timbers Elves Christmas Party,” at The Timbers of Shorewood, Saturday, December 17, 2016, in Shorewood, Ill.

In addition, there was live reindeer. Three caricature artists and a magician shared their talents.
