Thronateeska Heritage Center invites the public to take “Selfies with Santa” again this holiday season. Bring your cell phone and snap your free selfie with Santa in the Science Museum on Saturday, November 30, from 10:00 a.m. until noon. Enjoy hot cocoa and cookies provided by The Bread House, and stop by the activity table for some fun children’s holiday arts & crafts. Santa’s elves from the Tift Park Community Market also will be set up for guests’ holiday shopping needs. Enjoy caroling from local school choruses while you shop for that perfect Christmas gift.
 
While visiting with Santa, guests also are invited to enjoy the opening of a traditional holiday exhibit featuring a timeline of Santas from the 1800s to the present in the Science Museum. This exhibit includes more than 3,000 depictions of Santa Claus from Don Fisher’s personal collection. The exhibit will be open Thursdays through Saturdays from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. from November 30 until Saturday, January 4, 2020.
 
“Displaying the Santa collection has been a Christmastime tradition at Thronateeska for years,” says Todd Deariso, Thronateeska Heritage Museum Director.  “Many families have made it a tradition to return year after year to enjoy it with their children.”
 
Guests are also invited to visit the Wetherbee Planetarium. “Season of Light,” a Christmas carol-filled planetarium show, will begin playing Saturday, November 30. Viewers will learn about the astronomy behind the seasons, the Star of Bethlehem, and winter traditions from around the world. Admission is $4.50 plus tax per person (ages 4 & up), or free for members.
