Reindeer Magic Returns to Dennis’ 7 Dees

 

Reindeer Magic drew a crowd from all over the Portland area as children experienced a magical visit with a couple of Santa’s reindeer. It’s always fun to see the sparkle in the children’s eyes as they meet the reindeer face to face. In addition to a great photo-op with the reindeer the kids also enjoyed hot cocoa and the reindeer coloring contest. Adults enjoyed wine tasting and shopping our newly decorated store filled with Christmas decor and gifts for the gardener.  If you missed out on the fun this year keep your eyes peeled for next years reindeer visit.
