• Cocktails with Santa: Thursday, November 30, 7PM–9PM. A new event on CRT's schedule, this special evening is reserved for those folks without children but who still would like to take a stroll through the holiday display while enjoying a beer or glass of wine, snap some Christmas card selfies, and even visit with Santa. A beer/wine cash bar will be available, and CRT volunteers will be on hand to take phone-photos for visitors. Photos with Santa himself are $10.00 each and will be emailed over the next week.
