Santa Pat

I will attempt to contact you by phone as soon as you accept my quote. This will assist both of us in making sure the details are all straight prior to my arrival. Sometime changes are unavoidable, so the sooner we both know about this, the easier it is to adjust for the event to go smoothly.

I will discuss presentation of mini candy canes, mints, and whatever you choose for activities you have in mind while I am present.

Unless prior arrangements are coordinated, I will arrive in casual clothing with the costume in a discreet unmarked container.!I will need a place to change clothing. I am able to work indoors or outdoors. Should rain or other inclement weather approach, it will be in my safest interest to move to a dry environment.

I am available for most any venue, day or night, indoor our outdoor, and it may be that Mrs. Claus is able to be with me as well. Prior coordination will need to be made for that.

The duration of my availability is a m of 1 hour (shorter if you choose, but at a 1 hour minimum rate). The maximum will be determined in your planning. Activities will need pre-planning to benefit everybody present.

A REAL BEARDED Santa with over 30 years experience. My first appearance was in Berlin, Germany in December 1988. I am familiar with the German language having served in the military for over 8 years in Germany. After serving as an Army photographer around the world for 22 years, I retired in Georgia and served as an Army JROTC Instructor. After 20 years of learning that high school students know more than me about technology, I felt it was time to sit back and relax. Then the elves kept tugging at my beard and said, "Get the suit on, you are not done yet!"

I have grandchildren that make certain I am up to date on the latest toys, gadgets and fun activities. I also have 3 dogs, a Chihuahua/Beagle, a Pomeranian/Chihuahua, and a HUGE Great Pyrenees.

I love woodworking & photography. I also love riding my 2006 Honda Gold Wing motorcycle. It is also painted Gold (the only year that color was available) to match my red suit and enhance the character I love to portray.

I am married to the WONDERFUL "MRS. CLAUS" who has the most challenging job of any wife. She makes WONDERFUL meals, but makes sure I don't eat too many cookies. She also makes sure the reindeer are fed daily. We do reside with a 15,000 acre lake only 65 feet from our living room, so there is plenty of time to relax.

Coordination of activities while present is important to create the magical ambiance that Santa brings with him.

A chair, backdrop for pictures, picture location, sound systems, and other technical equipment must be discussed as soon as it is decided to have that type of equipment.
