Local Girl Scouts hosting "Santa's Workshop"

 If anyone questions whether elves are real, they need only to look to Cook County Girl Scouts. The local scouts are becoming elves as they host “Santa’s Workshop” on Saturday, December 4 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Colvill Town Hall.

Santa’s Workshop is a fun family event, which gives children the chance to shop at the Girl Scout “store,” which is off-limits to parents. Girl Scouts help children with their shopping list and wrap the presents, so parents get a surprise gift under the Christmas tree.

As children shop, parents can enjoy some time around the campfire at the town hall with coffee and hot chocolate.

There will not be a visit from Santa this year, but there will be a holiday photo opportunity.

For more information on scouting or Santa’s Workshop, contact Scout Leader Arvis Thompson at 218-387-2487.

WTIP's Rhonda Silence sat down with some of Santa's helpers to learn more about the event.
