Santa Visits Presidential Oaks

While Presidential Oaks Retirement was hosting its 5th Annual Capital Area Artisans Fair, Santa came by for a visit and brought a bit of snow as well. He roamed through the corridors, bellowing greetings and his hearty laugh. Miraculously, a workshop appeared in one of the quaint rooms of the Victorian home.

Kids of all ages rushed to have their picture taken with the Jolly Old Elf. Little Zetta, donning her bright red Christmas apron, greeted Santa with a big hug before whispering her list to Saint Nick. Cameron asked Santa for his own Ninja Turtles so he wouldn't have to play with his father's vintage collection. Caleb rattled off a list of electronic devices as Santa took careful mental notes. Santa was very surprised to hear little Mason's first Christmas wish. 

After having her picture taken with the Man In The Suit, Madison placed her letter to Santa in the magic mailbox. Santa spent hours listening to all the stories and wishes and autographed each and every picture before  disappearing as quickly as he came.

In the meantime, the Capital Area Artisans, a group of juried Artisans sponsored by Presidential Oaks Retirement,
showed off their wares. Capital Area Artisans enjoy free space at Presidential Oaks Retirement Craft Fairs, free advertising, free meeting space, networking with other artisans, and exposure to new clients with no membership fee. In exchange for these benefits, artisans provide a one-hour demonstration of their craft to Presidential Oaks Retirement residents each year.
