If little ones procrastinated getting their letters to Santa this year, fret not – the City of Covington Parks and Recreation Department has a very special mailbox in the lobby to collect letters to Santa with expedited shipping to the North Pole.

Not only will the letters get there on time, but they will all get a letter written back to them, as long as they include a return address.

To kick off the holiday season, the department is hosting a holiday party in the Commission Chambers on the first floor of city hall from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 16. 

Guests can decorate a custom ornament, play games, and more. While the festivities are geared toward families, everyone is welcome to attend.
