Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can):
Elfstravaganza is an annual community event kicking off the Holiday Season, Neighborhood Toy Store Day, and featuring THE HOTTEST toy trends in the nation with vendors showcasing some of the newest toys. Every vendor gives away free toys to all kids in attendance. It's a 5-hour event that is 100% FREE. During the event you could also write your letter to Santa, decorate a cookies, get your picture taken with the Elf on the Shelf, take photos with Pikachu as well as the Carolina Garrison of the 501st Legion.
