Admission: One new, unwrapped toy

The Wake Robin Inn and Lime Rock Park are inviting local families to revel in the spirit of giving and celebrate the holiday season at “Breakfast with Santa,” a benefit event for the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.

On Saturday, December 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Wake Robin Inn in Lakeville, a free pancake breakfast (courtesy of Fast Track Catering) will be served to all who come bearing one unwrapped new toy to donate to the kids hospitalized at the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.

Both Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive at 9:00 a.m. (Kids, bring your Wish Lists!)

Popular local DJ Marshall Miles, from WHDD-AM 1020 of Sharon, Conn., will be broadcasting live from the event. And...Party Troupe will have Craig, the Crazy Juggler, onsite for some fun entertainment!

Families are encouraged to bring their children, as they will receive a gift of their own as a reward for donating. In addition, all children in attendance will have the chance to win some exciting prizes, including those from Berkshire Bike and Board, Lakeville’s Mizza’s Pizza and Ski Butternut in Great Barrington, Mass. The prize drawing for the kids is at 9:30.

Michael Loftus, owner of the Wake Robin Inn, said, “We love hosting this event for Lime Rock. The kids that come have such a good time, and we know that the children at the hospital are going to be thrilled with what Santa’s bringing them!”

Special thanks to Crystal Rock, Fast Track/Butternut Catering, Marshall Miles with WHDD-AM, Lakeville Hose Company, Mizza’s Pizza, Berkshire Bike and Board and Ski Butternut and for their help in making “Breakfast with Santa” a big success.
