Close-Ups With Santa Claus: A Festive Family Event In Owensboro

As the popular Christmas song goes, "Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus! Right down Santa Claus Lane."  Sing it, Elvis!

I suppose we could pull a Dan + Shay and also sing, "Santa Claus is coming to town!"

The Wendell Foster Center in Owensboro is gearing up for a fun holiday event called Close-Ups with the Clauses. Not only is Santa Claus coming to town for fun family photos, he's bringing Mrs. Clause with him.
