COVID

November 21, 2020

It is with heavy hearts that we share with the local community that we will be cancelling all in-person Santa Claus visits this year at Hanover’s Santa Cabin. Since the beginning of our planning we understood that in order to have a safe season we would need to work closely with the local healthcare systems, UPMC Hanover and Wellspan Health along with the Borough of Hanover’s emergency management team to ensure our community COVID case rates were low in order to open up the Cabin for visits, even with safety measures in place. At this time, the local cases remain at an unsafe level to invite people to visit. We were prepared for this possibility, but it makes it no easier for us to share. We understand how devastating it is for families this season that almost every tradition they were looking forward to has changed. We are also devastated. We encourage you to send your letters to Santa using his cabin mailbox downtown, follow our social media channels and website for virtual opportunities to interact over the holidays, and most of all do all you can to bring cheer to one another safely this year.

Santa was most upset of all to miss a visit with you this year, but he is hopeful that there are brighter days ahead.
