Santa’s Calling deadline approaching

If you know of a child age 3 to 13 who would like to speak by telephone with Santa and Mrs. Claus, you’re in luck.

The Santa’s Calling program is coordinated by the City of Ocala Recreation and Parks Department. Phone calls from Santa will be made between 6 and 9 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8 through Thursday, Dec. 10.

“It has been a difficult year for families. We are thrilled to be able to partner with Santa and his elves again this year to offer a safe way for children to interact directly with Santa,” said Charles Dobson, the Recreation Program Supervisor at the Lillian Bryant Community Center.

To schedule a call with Santa, fill out the application at ocalafl.org/holidays by Monday, Nov. 30.
