Miracle on 34th Street

"This is a tale that we want to believe in, that creates a world we seem to desperately desire, free of the blatant commercialism that surrounds us, where love and decency and generosity of spirit are their own rewards. What we want Christmas to be all about, really." So writes the Santa Cruz Sentinel of this most heartwarming holiday story.

By chance, Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, gets a job working as Santa for Macy's. Kris unleashes waves of good will with Macy's customers and the commercial world of New York City by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy's vocational counselor, who plots to have Kris shanghaied to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing.

Especially at stake is one little girl's belief in Santa. In a dramatic decision, the court confirms Kris as the true Santa, allowing Susan and countless other children to experience the joy of childhood fantasy.

Fifth-grade students from Jackson Elementary School team up to design and build “affordable” gingerbread homes for a family of three using only the materials provided. After two weeks of planning, designing, and building, their frosting-filled masterpieces will be on display for the community to enjoy!

Guests of all ages are invited to stop by the Goldpiece Room at the Wort Hotel, tour the gingerbread village, and purchase raffle tickets to vote for their favorite creation. The team with the most votes will receive the People’s Choice Award, while the most functional design will earn the Builders Choice Award. Winning teams receive a commemorative classroom plaque, and a complimentary breakfast or lunch entrée at The Wort (thanks to The Wort Hotel!).
