Mr. and Mrs. Claus are coming to town this weekend at the Paul Smith’s Children’s Village! To greet their special guests, the Children’s Village has set up thousands of Santa faces around the village. From 1 to 3 p.m. Santa and Mrs. Claus will meet and greet his little helpers and their families. Anyone of any age is welcome to sit with Santa by the campfire and drink hot chocolate and roast marshmallows. Botanical Garden Educational Director Aaron Sommers says it’ll be a good time filled with holiday cheer. “The Children’s Village Garden in Cheyenne has become a magical place year-​​round, but during Christmastime, Santa Claus is really the true spirit of childhood and the magical time of year that is Christmas.” Sommers also says Santa will be taking wish lists and will have a knee at the ready to listen to present requests of little ones.
