Last year was the first year for the Delavan Historic Foundation's Santa House in Tower Park. This year we are adding a metal frame to the base of the house to make it easier for the city to move it into Tower Park safely. We are adding some outdoor decorations- Santa's sleigh will even be in the park, BUT we need your help to add to the decor inside of the house.

We are working on a Chair for Santa, but we need some help decorating the tree and walls. Everyone ends up with extra Christmas decorations. Do you have something you could donate to help create a Christmas memory for a child?

What we are looking for:
Non-breakable ornaments for the tree inside the house
and Holiday wall decor

We want to make the house special so it becomes a tradition for young families to bring their kids downtown to see Santa in his house.... and of course we want Santa to love it so we comes back to Delavan every year!

If you have some items, you can drop them off at Remember When Antiques & Collectibles Friday & Saturday 11am to 4pm, or message us to make other arrangements.

Thank you for your help and support!
