BATESVILLE, Ark. — Families in Batesville can kick off the holiday season with the annual Breakfast with Santa event on Tuesday, December 5. Hosted at the Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, located at 775 East Boswell, the festive morning will include a pancake breakfast, photo opportunities with Santa Claus, and a silent auction.

The event is organized by community members and features contributions from local businesses. Batesville East students will be on hand to take photos of children with Santa. Guests can also participate in the silent auction, which will offer a variety of items and gift certificates. One notable auction item this year is a handcrafted child-sized quilt, made by a church member, available through a raffle. Tickets for the quilt raffle can be purchased from the church office, the teacher of a local three-year-old classroom, or participating parents.

The event is ticketed, and those interested can purchase admission through the church office or by contacting parents involved in the fundraiser. For more information, contact the Presbyterian Church office or email Alyson Low at alysonlowpds@gmail.com.

Breakfast with Santa coincides with the city’s evening Christmas parade, making it a festive day for families to enjoy holiday activities in Batesville.
