LETTERS TO SANTA
We know you want to make the holidays an exciting time for your kids and we are here to help you. The Farmers Branch Aquatics Center has made arrangements with the elves at the North Pole to accept mail for delivery to Santa. Have your kids write a letter to Santa Claus and they will get a letter from him in return! Please make sure to include a return address, what they want for Christmas and something about themselves. You can drop off letters between November 21 - December 13 in the Margaret Young Natatorium.
The Farmers Branch Aquatics Center has a new twist to an annual holiday tradition. They will be holding an Ugly Holiday Mask Contest.
Like the "ugly sweaters" people wear for fun and pleasure during the holiday season, the Aquatics Center is asking residents to join in the fun by:
- Taking a picture of yourself wearing an ugly holiday mask. You can make or buy one.
- Email your submission to the Aquatics Manager at paul.macias@farmersbranchtx.gov by December 27
On December 28, the Aquatics Center will announce the two winners on the Aquatics Center social media accounts.
Winners will receive a bath towel, pair of goggles, and FBAC t-shirt
