It’s the Ho! Ho! Holiday Season, and the American Helicopter Museum and Education Center (AHMEC) is ready for Santa Claus’ exciting arrival via helicopter on Saturday, December 14, during AHMEC’s annual SantaFest. Santa lands on the museum’s helipad to greet anxious onlookers then makes his way inside to his colorful workshop to hear children’s wish lists and spread holiday cheer.

SantaFest begins at 10 a.m. and lasts until 1 p.m., with Santa landing at 11 a.m. The fun event also features refreshments, storytelling, holiday movies and a craft activity. PAWS for People™’s wonderful therapy dogs add to the festivities.
