Santa Claus is coming to town for your furry friends
Pet lovers, get your pup’s sweater vest ready because Santa is coming to Champaign-Urbana to visit with your cats and dogs this holiday season.
We know that Champaign-Urbana loves furry friends. And Santa loves our pets as much as we do! If you want to get your pets up close and personal with the man in the big red suit, there are several options coming up this holiday season right here in Champaign-Urbana and beyond.
chambanamoms.com thanks CIBM Bank for presenting everything we want to know about Santa this holiday season.
Get out your cat elf ears and doggie sleigh bell collars because Santa also wants to know whether Mittens McGee or Sparky The WonderDog has been naughty or nice. Many of these events are fundraisers for local animal-related charities.
If you want to see our list of Santa photo opportunities for children and families, please visit our post on Where to See Santa.
