The remaining three trips were canceled due to very low enrollment. Snack and Skate & Hockey Skills Development: Registration is currently being accepted for these programs. Family Open Gym: This family program started on December 5. Ten people attended the first week and since then participation has grown each week. Attendance is usually the greatest after the holiday season. SPECIAL EVENTS Breakfast with Santa: 209 participants registered for this year's event - which was a great success. Participants were able to enjoy an all- you - could -eat buffet, craft projects, gingerbread cookie decorating and photos with Santa. • Secret Holiday Shop: 71 visitors shopped at our Secret Holiday Gift Shop.
