“One of the great traditions of holiday shopping at Firewheel Town Center is the annual family visit to the Simon Santa Photo Experience,” said Chelsey Lamar, area director of Marketing. “I know Santa can’t wait to greet children bringing him their holiday wishes.”
Firewheel Town Center also provides children with special needs and their families an opportunity to enjoy this time-honored holiday tradition through sensory-friendly Caring Santa events in partnership with Autism Speaks. These private photo sessions exclusively for families of children with special needs will take place Sunday, Dec. 2 from 9 to 11 a.m.
The Santa Experience will also share the heart of Santa by collecting donations for Autism Speaks throughout the holiday season.
For local pet owners, the popular Pet Photo Nights with Santa will be Sunday, December 9 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Many pet owners view their pet as an integral member of the family and are just as committed in caring for their pets as their “human” family members. Pet Photo nights are hosted after regular mall closing at the properties and the set gets an extensive cleaning following the event to remove any potential risk to allergy sufferers.
Shopper appreciation programs will also take place throughout the holiday season.
