Bring your kids and your cold-nosed companions for a different kind of visit with Santa this year at Purina Farms. Wear your favorite stocking caps and Santa hats for a drive-up photo op for your cold-nosed companions that make your house a home this holiday season.
This unique drive-up photo opportunity takes your car in the midst of a virtual holiday scene. Santa himself will even be there to greet you! This magical moment will be captured in a printed holiday photo for you to take home with you. You will also receive access to an electronic version of the photo for downloading and sharing with friends and family.
This drive-up opportunity will be held December 4-5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pre-registration online is required, and the cost is just $10. Plus, Purina Farms will donate $2 for every pre-registered vehicle to Duo Dogs to help care for cold-nosed canines that help advance the lives of individuals and families through various service animal programs.
You can help adoptable pets too by bringing pet supplies to donate to the Duo Dogs Wish List or toys for Toys for Tots.
Spots are limited. To reserve yours, visit purinafarms.com
