Kids Only Shoppe
The Kids Only Shoppe is open Saturdays and Sundays of the Christmas Market weekends. They are located in the Picnic Shelter at the south end of the facility by the concession.
This is a special place for children 5 to 12 years to select Christmas gifts, with shopping assistance from the elves, for their family members. All items are $15 or less, with 80% of the items being quality handcrafted locally or donated by local vendors of the Millarville Farmers’ Market.
Each gift is wrapped and tagged to keep the contents a secret until Christmas. Mrs. Claus and her elves look forward to welcoming the children back to the Shoppe every year. The profits from the Shoppe are distributed between 6 local schools within the Foothills School Division to assist with their hot lunch programmes.
