Santa to return to Spring Hill Mall

Spring Hill Mall's naturally bearded Santa Claus returns for a "Welcome Back Santa Party" from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday in Center Court at Spring Hill Mall, routes 72 and 31 in West Dundee.

Radio Disney also will be on hand for special entertainment.

After the party, Santa will get ready to begin his holiday visits with all area children. He will be available every day in Center Court through Christmas Eve.

There is no cost to visit with Santa Claus. All children who tell Santa what's on their Christmas wish list or say hello will receive a free gift. A photographer is available to take digital photos for purchase of children with Santa Claus.

Santa is available during all mall hours, except for breaks.

To avoid waiting in a long line for photos with Santa, adults will receive a pager to carry in the mall to notify recipients when it is near their time to see Santa. For details, call (847) 428-2200 or visit www.springhillmall.com.
