Tennova T-Creek has Meet Santa event Friday

Tennova Healthcare is hosting Meet Santa Holiday Event beginning at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 15, in Lobby B of Turkey Creek Medical Center, 10820 Parkside Drive.

“We’re hoping everybody comes,” said Linde Mills, Tennova’s marketing manager.

In addition to meeting Santa and Mrs. Claus, there will be cookies, hot cocoa and other treats; a children’s ornament station; face painting; storytelling by Santa; a tree decorating contest, where people can vote for their favorite; and carolers.

Attendees also can take photos with Santa.

After hosting a Trunk or Treat in October at Turkey Creek Medical Center, Tennova Healthcare wanted to do more for children in the area, Mills said.

“This is our first time doing it,” she added. “... Hopefully, we can make this a yearly thing and have Santa and Mrs. Claus come out every year. As it gets bigger, then we’ll add some more things to it next year.”
