Dear Santa, Please Write Back
A letter to Santa is one thing. But a letter from Santa is one step better. The Owatonna Parks and Recreation office is offering kids (and adults too, I suppose) the opportunity to hear back from St. Nicholas. But only if you get your letter to them by this Friday, December 11.

Owatonna Parks and Rec is sponsoring several other holiday-themed events too.
- Soccer ball from Santa - Everyone who creates an account on their new registration system will be entered into a drawing for a soccer ball. One-hundred will win. The deadline is also December 11.
- Elf in the Park - Timmy the Elf is hiding out at Owatonna parks this month. Pictures of Timmy will be posted on park and rec's Facebook page. Take a picture of Timmy with your kids, or yourself, and post or email it for a chance at prizes.
