🎄💛 Thank You, Sponsors! 💛🎄

Santa at the Station simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors. Because of their generosity, local families enjoyed cocoa, crafts, Santa photos, elf adoption, and a whole lot of small-town Christmas magic at the Rural Retreat Depot. 🎅🚂

To every business and organization who partnered with us this year:
thank you for believing in this community and helping us love our neighbors well.

When Santa wants to decorate for an event, this is who he calls. 😉

A HUGE thank-you to Soirée Sisters for the stunning balloon displays at Santa at the Station this morning. From the moment families walked into the Depot, their creations made everything feel extra magical, festive, and fun. 🎅🚂

We are so grateful for their talent, generosity, and heart for our community. If you’re planning a party, shower, or special event, do yourself a favor and check them out—Santa’s elves highly recommend them. 💚

Drop some 🎈🎄 in the comments to help us thank Soirée Sisters for adding so much joy to our small-town Christmas celebration!

🎁✨ LOOK WHAT YOU DID! ✨🎁

Because of your generosity, this bench at the Depot is overflowing with toys—and soon, so will the hearts of local families. 🥹❤️

Every single one of these new, unwrapped gifts will be given to the Rural Retreat United Methodist Christmas Shop, where parents and caregivers can choose presents for their children with dignity and love.

To everyone who brought a toy to Santa at the Station…to our sponsors, volunteers, and families who gave above and beyond…

THANK YOU.
You didn’t just donate toys—you helped make Christmas morning happen for kids right here in our own community. 🎄

Let’s keep being the kind of small town where neighbors quietly show up for one another. Santa couldn’t be prouder. 🎅✨

🌙✨ T’was the night before Santa at the Station… ✨🎅

Tomorrow morning, the Rural Retreat Depot will turn into a little piece of the North Pole, and Santa and the whole North Pole Crew cannot wait to see you! 🚂🎄

As you’re laying out Christmas outfits and planning your cocoa orders, don’t forget:

🎁 If you’re able, please bring a new, unwrapped toy with you to the event.
Every toy collected will go to the Rural Retreat United Methodist Church Christmas Shop, giving local families a dignified way to choose Christmas gifts for their children this year. 💛

Thank you for being part of the magic—both at the Depot and in our community.
We’ll see you bright and early tomorrow morning! 🎅❄️
