Breakfast with Santa to Feature Fun Magic Show
If you and the kids like pancakes, Santa and a little magic, you will love the Tower Square Breakfast with Santa! On Saturday, December 8, you will have a chance to enjoy a wonderful breakfast of pancakes, bacon, hash browns and juice prepared by Tower Grill in the Citywalk Cafes from 9 - 11am.
Santa will make his grand entrance around 9:30 and will take his seat at the throne to meet and greet the children as well as pose for photos.
At 10am Merdwin the Mad-cap Mediocre Magician will perform his funny interactive magic show.
Chit Chat the Clown and the Zoodles Face Painters will also be on hand to entertain the children. For additional family fun, the kids will each have a chance to make a whimsical holiday ornament at the Tower Square Craft Station.
As an added attraction the Springfield Boys & Girls Club are opening the Festival of Trees early that day for the Santa Breakfast, and are offering FREE ADMISSION from 9 - 11am!
We are grateful to the Central High School ROTC who will be volunteering at the breakfast that day as well.
The cost for the entire event is $7 per person. Children 2-years-old and under are free. To pre-register, please fill out the registration form inside the newsletter or call the Tower Square management office at 413.733.2171.

Holiday Open House Has Record Crowd
|  | | | The Merry Stilt Walker caught the eyes of many at the Open House, as she was perhaps the tallest elf ever seen! |
The word apparently spread and families from across the Pioneer Valley attending the festive Tower Square Parade of the Big Balloons last month, converged on Tower Square after the parade to enjoy more family fun.
The ninth annual Holiday Open House saw record crowds, as folks gathered in the Citywalk Cafes food court to watch the Tanglewood Marionettes perform The Dragon King. Other popular venues at the Open House included the Merry Stilt Walker, face painting, holiday sing-along with pianist Frank Jackson, holiday jazz duo, and Derek the Magician.
Of course, no Holiday Open House would be complete without that jolly old elf himself! Santa made his way to his throne after the parade to take photos with his many young fans. Santa's helpers once again were volunteers from the Dance Center Booster Club of Chicopee,
The Tower Square Holiday Open House was sponsored by CBRE-NE Partners, LP |
