Happy Hour begins at 4:00 at Barkeater Chocolates. As part of our 15th Anniversary Celebration, we’ll guide you through a flight of local beers by Northway Brewing. It will include their limited run Chocolate Caramel Beer created in collaboration with Barkeater. We’ll pair it with one of our delightful chocolate caramels; along with other tasty beers and treats.

This year, we’re offering a special event for kids to meet and mingle with Mrs. Claus. For an hour and a half, children will get to hang with Santa’s Number One helper (though she’ll tell you she does most of the work and gets none of the cookies).
Our interactive event will last approximately 90 minutes and includes hot cocoa and a special Christmas treat for each child. Kids will get to submit questions for Mrs. Claus that they’ve always wanted to ask. She’ll read stories and bestow her wisdom upon everyone.
The event begins at 1:00 on Saturday, December 2, after the North Creek Christmas Parade.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Johnsburg Food Pantry.
