St. Luke’s Hospital is expecting St. Nick and several elves to greet children, offering cookies and a festive photo opportunity during his annual trip to Polk County.

Santa and elves will arrive at St. Luke’s Hospital for “Cookies with Santa,” which will take place from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, just inside the Rehab Center entrance.

Cookies and punch will be available, as well as an opportunity for children to color pictures or write wish lists to Santa. Parents are encouraged to bring their own camera to snap photos with Santa by the Christmas tree.

Those interested in learning more may call 828-894-0972.
