Pictures with Santa for a good cause

Brighten Up will celebrate Christmas in Erin by giving back to local families with free family fun.

Brighten Up has launched its fifth annual toy drive in partnership with East Wellington Community Services.

Representatives will collect new unwrapped toys for local kids and can make suggestions for the children who are most in need.

Cash donations for the toy drive are welcomed.

On Nov. 27, Brighten Up is hosting its annual pictures with Santa, free with a donation to the toy drive.

Call Brighten Up at 519-833-9258 for a reservation.

On Dec. 4, Brighten Up will celebrate Toy Store Day.

Join them from 12 to 4pm for free face painting, mingle magic with Al, free crafts, hourly door prizes, and more.

Brighten Up is located at 67 Main Street in Erin, Ontario. For more information visit www.brightenuperin.ca or call 519-833-9258.
