Athens —
Want a sneak peek at Saint Nick? Here’s a great chance to see him before the big day.
Join the Cain Center on Saturday for “Breakfast with Santa.” The annual event is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and last through 11 a.m. in the Cain Center’s Multi-Purpose Hall.
An all-you-can-eat waffle breakfast will be served in the presence of none other than Santa himself. Cost is only $2 per adult, and children 12 and under are free.
Children will enjoy reading Santa their wish list, and they’ll receive a gift and have the opportunity to decorate cookies, do crafts, and have their face painted. A bounce house will also be offered, in addition to other activities.
