Put in a call to the North Pole

It's time to call the North Pole … the Elk Grove Village Jaycees, in cooperation with Berthold's Flower Barn, are sponsoring this year's holiday "Santa Phone."

Speak with Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, an elf or maybe even Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Call between 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, and Thursday at (847) 439-2600 or (847) 439-2650.
