THIS IS A FREE COMMUNITY EVENT!
Fun with Friends Helping Hands Memory Makers division is putting on a Winter Wonderland event for the children & families of Knoxville!
The purpose of this event is to provide joy, needs and gifts to children in foster care via this experience.
From 12-3PM the event will be only open to those VIP children. They will have lunch, meet Santa and several other Christmas characters, enjoy our crafts and activities, partake in a "fun" shopping spree where they get to select their gifts, be gifted with items from their wish list and receive some items of necessity.
From 3PM until 6PM the event is open to YOU! This is the time-frame you can bring your kids, friends or just yourself to partake in the holiday experience!
