If you’re looking forward to getting a little holiday shopping started, this weekend would be a great time to do it! The Dancing Weasel toy store in Eugene is generously holding a fundraiser for our playground this weekend, from Dec. 11 to 13. If you visit the store, buy a great gift, and mention you’re from Tiny Tots, they’ll contribute a percentage of the sale back to our playground — which means every toy you buy brings us closer to new toys at the playground, too!

Speaking of the playground, we’ll be having a North Pole Day end-of-term celebration this week on Dec. 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. Free snacks, games, a fun take-home craft, and even photos with Santa will be available for all members. Drop in for a few minutes or stay for the whole festive time — all of our families are welcome to share in a little winter cheer!

We’ll also have a raffle during the event, but you can buy tickets in advance through our Square marketplace site for a chance to win:

• A $25 Cornucopia Gift Card
• A $15 Sweet Life Gift Card
• A $10 Euphoria Chocolate Gift Card
• A Posh Gift Basket
• A 1-Year Zoobooks Subscription
• or 20 Redbox Movie Rentals

Tickets for this raffle are $1 each or $5 for 6 tickets. Buy in advance or at the event with cash or credit card.

We’re also raffling off No Winter Duty passes ($5 a ticket) to two lucky winners and a One Free Duty pass, as well. To enter the One Free Duty Pass raffle, bring up to 5 cleaning supplies (paper towels, Kleenex, non-toxic cleaning solutions, baby wipes packages, etc.) to the party and earn one ticket per item.

Questions? Let us know! We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday night!
