The Unified Government Parks & Recreation Department, in partnership with the Wyandotte County Parks Foundation and Sheriff’s Office, launched the holiday season early for nearly 800 community members, with last Saturday’s Donuts with Santa. The free event, hosted at Memorial Hall in Downtown KCK, included hours of fun activities, balloon artists, hot cocoa and donuts, and games for all ages. Santa arrived to bring presents to each child in attendance, giving away more than 500 gifts generously donated by the Wyandotte County Parks Foundation!
“I am beyond grateful for the wonderful turnout at this year’s ‘Donut’s with Santa’ holiday event,” said UG Parks & Recreation Director, Angel Ferrara. “This year our staff worked extremely hard at making sure this event was a huge success for the community. To see kids and families smiling and having fun in Santa’s village confirms that this holiday event was just what our community needed.”
As each kid arrived, they received a passport card to have stamped as they visited each station in Santa’s Village. Children that filled up their passports were able to enter to win one of six grand prizes of their choice, including a karaoke machine, electronic scooter and a hoverboard. This day would not have been possible without the time and energy of more than 35 volunteers. We are grateful for our community sponsorships, including from the Wyandotte County Parks Foundation, Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office, Price Chopper (State Avenue and Bonner Springs), Hy-Vee (Mission, KS), Krispy Kreme (Shawnee Mission Pkwy), and the Ted Miller State Farm Agency.
