Santa's Workshop will help children

Help shopping for Christmas presents and wrapping gifts will be available for children Saturday at Santa's Workshop in downtown Cape Girardeau.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Old Town Cape volunteers and members of Alpha Delta Phi sorority will help children 11 and under pick out gifts and wrap them. The Arts Council of Southeast Missouri, 119 Independence, will be the site for Santa's Workshop.

All gifts will cost $15 or less. The gifts to be wrapped all come from downtown merchants.

Children are asked to bring a list of the people they want to buy gifts for. Santa Claus may make an appearance to find out their last-minute wishes.

The event is sponsored by Old Town Cape. For more information, phone the Old Town Cape office at 334-8085.
