Children of Showplace Cabinetry workers will celebrate with Santa who plans to take a break from his busy holiday schedule to visit the children at the cabinet manufacturer.

Children ages 10 and under will meet Santa and receive a gift. This is a special event just for the children of Showplace employees; No grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or friends. And, the children must be at the event to receive their gift. Juice, cookies, and crafts will be provided.

A photographer will be on hand to take photos of the kids with Santa on his sleigh. The event will take place Thursday, Dec. 12 from 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.

This annual event began 15 years ago, and 160 families are participating this year. Over the years nearly 3,000 children have enjoyed the festivities. “Santa has visited our factory annually since 2009 and it has become a tradition our employees enjoy as much as their kids do," said Bill Allen, CEO. "Every year 150 to 200 kids line up to decorate and eat Christmas cookies, receive their presents, and meet Santa. My kids are in college, and they still talk about going to see Santa at Showplace. This event truly reflects the heart of our Showplace community.”
