Seattle SantaCon 2017

Seattle Fun Events

<DIV>Hey Santa! Over 2,000 of us will be parading through the Downtown Seattle area on Saturday December 16th! Join us as we paint the town red and white! SantaCon is an annual mass gathering of people dressed in Santa Claus costumes parading publicly on streets and inside locations in cities around the world. The focus is on spontaneity and creativity, while having a good time and spreading cheer and goodwill. This is much more than a pub crawl, and every time you call it that, a sugar plum fairy dies!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>READ THE WHOLE DETAILS! KEEP READING! SANTA! READ!</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>WE NEED YOU!!</STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><BR><STRONG>THE RULES!!</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>--------------------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV>1. My name is Santa. Your name is Santa. We are Santa. Who's in charge here? Santa!</DIV>
<DIV>2. Santa will bring cash and tip! No cards! No complex orders! Lines will be long, so keep it quick!</DIV>
<DIV>3. Wear a Santa suit! Be an elf! Or reindeer! Get in the holiday spirit. Wearing just a Santa hat with regular clothes is boring. And wear comfy shoes. Santa is covering lots of ground.</DIV>
<DIV>4. SantaCon is a participatory event. Entertain us! Bring something Santa will enjoy: candy, games, performances, signs, music, or a costume that will wow us!</DIV>
<DIV>5. Expect lines. Santa will have fun while waiting or find another spot nearby.</DIV>
<DIV>6. Santa obeys the law. Santa doesn't drink in public or smoke in parks.</DIV>
<DIV>7. Pace yourself, Santa. Know your limits. Remember to eat!</DIV>

<P><STRONG>ONLINE COSTUME CONTEST!! WIN A FREE TRIP TO ARUBA!!</STRONG><BR>--------------------------------------------<BR>Because we don’t have a single venue that can accommodate all of us at once, we will be doing a photo based contest this year! Want to enter yourself or someone else? Post a photo on our Facebook Event page or on Instagram with hashtag #SeattleSantaCon! After the event is over we’ll determine who the winners are. Categories are Funniest, Sexiest, Best Couple, and Best Overall. Prizes are gift certificates and grand prize is a trip to Aruba, thanks to Trinity Nightclub!</P>
<BR>
<P>CHARITY: MARY’S PLACE!!<BR>---------------------------------------------------<BR>This year Seattle SantaCon will be benefiting Mary’s Place and their ‘No Child Sleeps Outside' campaign. Mary's Place is a 501(c)3 non-profit that empowers homeless women, children, and families to reclaim their lives by providing shelter, nourishment, resources, healing, and hope in a safe community. A portion of proceeds from our ticket sales will be donated, and there is a direct donation option on Eventbrite as well. Let's help bring more kids and families inside to warmth and safety this winter! Based on sales and expenses so far we can promise at least $3,000 to Mary’s Place - let's keep this up! We’re also asking people to drop off any new hats, scarves, mittens, or gloves at check-in (optional). For more info on Mary’s Place please see <A HREF="http://www.marysplaceseattle.org" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.marysplaceseattle.org</A></P>
