Huh?? What the hell is Santa Con? Well come sit on Santa's lap and he'll tell you all about it ;)
https://www.santacon.info/Bend-OR
Santa Con is a worldwide event when Santas of all Christ-fearing nations have a "convention". The build-up to Christmas can be very stressful for Santa, so one night a year he gathers with other Santas, Mrs. Clauses, reindeer and elves and imbibes in pure debauchery! Santas are obnoxious, consume alcoholic beverages, and sing naughty XXXmas Scarols.
Santas crave anarchy but Santa must behave somewhat and follow these rules:
1. Santa will call Santa, "Santa".
2. Santa will be respectful of everyone, Santa and non-Santa.
3. Santa will not destroy property.
4. Santa will not exit from doors marked, "emergency exit".
5. Santa will not puke in public.
6. Santa will not get arrested.
7. Santa will be 21 yrs. or older.
8. Santa will not guide his sleigh while intoxicated
9. Santa will spread Holiday cheer
10. Santa will have one helluva good time!
HERE'S WHERE WE MEET AND WHERE WE'RE GOING:
Everyone MEETS IN THE COURTYARD OUTSIDE OF THE COMMONS NEAR THE BACKSIDE OF THE BREEZEWAY. 6 to 6:30 pm for group pictures. Layer up and dress warmly.
*What happens: with a flash mob mentality (it's important that the swarm stays together), we might enter an establishment either from the front door or sometimes the rear, everyone sings Jingle Bells loudly. Some will imbibe. The Santas say "ho-ho-ho" a lot, and leaving we all say "Merry Christmas".
6:30-ish - The head Santa will lead the 'walk' through the breezeway past Bellatazza where we will make our way down Wall to JC's Grill. Stop #1 Important that the swarm stays close.
7-ish - Then north on Bond Street to the D&D Grill with an optional backdoor entry, for refreshments #2
8-ish - up the street to Deschutes Brewery for more refreshments. Deschutes just released this year's Jubleale. #3
9-ish - Back down Bond St to Corey's #4
10-ish O'Kane's #5
Remember: This is a costume event. Santa looks like Santa, Mrs. Clause looks like Mrs. Clause, reindeer and elves look like reindeer and elves. DO NOT SHOW UP JUST WEARING A "SANTA CAP" AND A BLACK PUFFY. I GUARANTEE YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS IF YOU DO. C'MON, HAVE FUN WITH THIS. Santa is jolly. If you plan to get a little extra jolly, please bring a designated reindeer or take a taxi/uber home. You may bring guests, the more the merrier. Your guests MUST be in costume. Lots to choose from on Amazon, and Target.
FOR SANTAS, MOST IMPORTANT: IF YOU CROSS PATHS WITH A CHILD, YOU TO THEM ARE THE REAL DEAL, ACT ACCORDINGLY.
