Breakfast with Santa might still be a ways off, but the big guy is such a big draw that organizers for the annual event are kicking off ticket sales nice and early this year.

This year’s Breakfast with Santa is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 2, beginning at 9 a.m. Sponsored by Noon Kiwanis and the Town of Fountain Hills, tickets may be purchased at the Community Center for $8 per guest, and they’ll be required for entry into the event.

Tickets go on sale starting November 1-3 and Nov. 6-7 at the Community Center from 9 to 11:30 a.m. They may also be purchased on the Noon Kiwanis website at fhkiwanis.org beginning Nov. 1.

Once Dec. 2 rolls around, the man of the season and many of his pals will drop by the Community Center for a morning of fun, food and more. Entertainment and pictures with Santa are just a few of the special treats planned for the morning event, with a hot breakfast from McDonald’s on the menu.

No tickets will be available at the door. For questions, call 480-837-6169.
