FARMINGTON — The Franklin Memorial Hospital Auxiliary gift shop will host a special holiday family event from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 10, in the Bass Room.

A sit down tea with Mrs. Claus will begin at 2:15 p.m. Those interested in attending should purchase tickets in advance at the gift shop at Franklin Memorial Hospital.

The event will feature goodies from Mrs. Claus’ kitchen, a “letters to Santa” table, coloring, games and crafts, a Holly Boutique where visitors can buy gifts for less than $5, and visits with the reindeer (outside).

Mrs. Claus will read “Reindeer Wish” at 3:45 p.m. The story is about a girl who wishes for a puppy, but befriends a baby reindeer and set out on adventures together.

A nominal fee will be charged for this charitable event. For more information call the gift shop at 779-2581.
