As always, pints of Salted Caramel are available at Flight Nights upon request.
Weezer the elf will be there and Miss Sugar will be all decked out in her cart (Christmas lights and all) because let me tell you, you are missing out if you have not had kisses from this amazing girl.
We will have hot chocolate with all kinds of great stuff you can add to your hot chocolate, doughnuts, cookies, special treats for the kids and best of all Santa will be there to get pictures made with and don’t forget our Santa is taking a truck load of supplies over to Gatlinburg for Christmas and we would appreciate any donations of human canned food, new kids toys or dry dog/cat food.
