Idaho Falls Downtown Development Corporation (IFDDC) visited three local schools this week (11/28/2023 & 11/30/2023) to read a story about Santa and donate books to the classes. On Tuesday, 11/28/2023, IFDDC visited Discovery Elementary School and Castle Bridge Preschool to read the book and on Thursday, 11/30/2023, they visited Dora Erickson Elementary. After reading the story, IFDDC donated a book to each of the participating classes to keep in their classroom.
The exciting tale is titled, The Story of Tracker Santa’s Puppy Written by Alexandra Bovill and Created by Michael Bovill. The story introduces Santa’s new puppy, named Tracker, to the audience. Tracker is a special puppy that can sniff out who is naughty or nice.
This Saturday, December 2nd, from 12:00 – 3:00 you can participate in a Downtown event, Find Santa’s Puppy! Find Santa’s Puppy is a Downtown scavenger hunt. Thirty-one stuffed animal Tracker puppies will be hidden throughout Downtown. Begin your adventure at the Civitan Plaza to pick up your scavenger hunt map card and instructions. Once you have the map, begin searching for the puppies. When you find a puppy inside a business, have them mark it off on your card! When you’ve found as many puppies as you can, head over to WeeBee Toys to turn your card in for a prize brought from the North Pole by Santa himself! Then you can meet Santa and tell him exactly what you want for Christmas.
This is a free family friendly event, and all are welcome!
