Christmas is coming... and so is the reindeer competition!

We’re excited to announce that the beloved Find Santa's Reindeer competition is making a return this December, and we’re putting out the call for local businesses to get involved! We're inviting you to host a reindeer in your window and be a part of this festive city-wide treasure hunt.

 

The competition aims to encourage families to explore and move around our city throughout the month, spreading holiday cheer while supporting local businesses. It’s a great opportunity to bring more foot traffic to your storefront while engaging with the community in a fun and festive way. Get ready to help families find Santa’s reindeer and make this holiday season one to remember!
