Letters To Santa Event: Spreading Holiday Magic

A mailbox for the North Pole is coming to your area!

By Toni Hill November 3, 2023

The holiday season is a time of wonder and joy, and there's no better way to share in the magic of the season than by writing a letter to Santa Claus himself. This year, Macaroni KID Marysville/Snohomish is thrilled to announce the "Santa's Mailbox" event, and we're making it extra special with the support of our generous sponsors.

Dearborn Family Farm & Pumpkin Patch:

One of our cherished sponsors, Dearborn Family Farm & Pumpkin Patch, has been bringing joy to the community for the past three years. Their farm offers a delightful array of activities, including free admission, kids' games, an educational corn maze, organic produce, a gift shop, and a bakery. Field trips are welcome, and they're even dog-friendly. Throughout October, their pumpkin patch is open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10 AM to 5 PM. This year, Dearborn Family Farm is hosting two holiday markets, featuring a wide variety of local vendors. 

Their 20x40 heated tent will be brimming with handcrafted gifts, perfect for your holiday shopping needs. The Huckleberry Bakery and gift shop will also be open for those seeking delectable treats and charming souvenirs. On November 18th, the farm will be open from 11 AM to 5 PM, with live music from 1 PM to 4 PM. Come December 16th, they'll be open from 11 AM to 4 PM, with Santa making a special appearance from 12 PM to 3 PM. As you shop, enjoy complimentary coffee, hot cocoa, cider, and there will be scrumptious treats for purchase. 

Plus, keep an eye out for their spring reopening, featuring organic plant starts and fresh produce. Machias will also have its own farm stand, so there's plenty to look forward to in the coming months. Dearborn Family Farm & Pumpkin Patch's participation is an invaluable contribution to making our Santa's Mailbox event even more magical. Learn more about the Farm at their Facebook Page.

Brooklyn Bros Pizzeria - Two Locations:

We're thrilled to have Brooklyn Bros. Pizzeria as our location sponsor. Not just one, but two of their fantastic locations are joining us in spreading the joy of Santa's Mailbox. As the holiday season approaches, we invite you to make a special visit to Brooklyn Bros Pizzeria's Mukilteo and Everett locations. From November 28th to December 21st, you'll find Santa's Mailbox waiting for your letters. While you're there, savor some mouthwatering pizza and soak in the festive atmosphere. Brooklyn Bros Pizzeria's involvement adds a warm, community touch to our holiday event.

But we need your help to make this event truly magical. Sponsorship plays a crucial role in covering the costs of mailboxes, paper, printer ink, envelopes, and stamps. If you or someone you know wants to become a sponsor, please email me at tonih@macaronikid.com.

Let's come together to create a holiday season filled with joy, wishes, and unforgettable memories.
