Santa waits for you.
The Coupeville High School Class of 2021 is hosting a fundraiser, featuring socially-distanced photos with Old Saint Nick.
The event is set for Saturday, December 12 from 10-2 at Bell’s Farm (892 W. Beach Road), and cost is $10 for three digital photos which will be emailed to you.
Patrons are asked to park in the grass area behind the farm’s honesty stand.
You can pay with cash or check (made out to CHS Parents), delivered in an envelope with your name, phone number, and email address written on the front.
Since we’re living in the Age of Coronavirus, extra care will be taken to assure Santa, portrayed by Coupeville gridiron legend Paul Messner, is properly socially-distanced.
While he won’t be sitting with people in the photo as in years past, he will be clearly visible.
“In order to keep Santa safe this year we had to get a little creative,” Wolf mom Deb Smith said. “It’s a way to carry on a Christmas tradition while ensuring safety.”
Participants are asked to wear a mask until they have been seated for their picture, and if you’ve brought your pet for the photo, they need to be leashed.
“We want to keep everyone safe, and get you in and out quickly,” Smith said.
“Take some time to visit the Bells Farm honesty stand and grab some goodies for your holiday table or gifts for family and friends,” she added.
“We’re very fortunate to have their wonderful family help make this possible this year!”
