Santa is coming to town.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, residents young and old are invited to visit Santa Claus and eat a delicious pancake breakfast at the Elk\u2019s Lodge, 2100 N. Dolores Road.<\/p>\n

The pancake breakfast, which is hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Mesa Verde, is 8-10 a.m. Sausage and drinks will be served.<\/p>\n

While breakfast is taking place, attendees can take photos with Santa.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody is welcome. There\u2019s no age limit,\u201d Tiffany Small, chairwoman of Kiwanis Breakfast With Santa, told The<\/em> Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This year, a craft corner will also be offered for children to make an ornament.<\/p>\n

The breakfast is a way to thank the community for the support they give Kiwanis throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Last year was more of a \u201cslow year\u201d with 150 people in attendance, according to Small, but they anticipate at least 300 people this year.<\/p>\n

The Kiwanis Club, which has around 20 members, will serve the breakfast with the help of the Girl Scout Club in Dolores.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re going to help us clean up tables, and we, in return, give them a donation,\u201d Small said.<\/p>\n

The Kiwanis Club of Mesa Verde is an organization that raises money to benefit youths in Montezuma and Dolores counties through funding and scholarships.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s something a lot of people don\u2019t actually know,\u201d Small said. \u201cThe scholarships are a big thing. We do the breakfast with Santa as our free event, but we also do a huge charity night in May that allows us to raise a lot of the funds that we need for the year, and then we donate that back to all the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
