Suit Up Santas


Are you all getting so excited for Yakima’s first Santacon!?!?!

I’ll be posting the route later today but I wanted first to go over one little detail: yes you have to dress up! This is Santacon people. Those who show up in regular clothes will be booed then doused with beer and given the ol’ coal in the stocking treatment, if you know what I mean.

So, where do you get a great Santa suit you ask?

Walgreens usually has super cheap ones that you can then bedazzle and decorate as you see fit. The party/costume store on Tieton has a great selection of hats and other Santa accoutrements, but the suits there are hella expensive. I know Target also has suits.

My suggestion is to get creative. Here are some photos for inspiration.

be prepared~ from weather.com;

A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL TAKE PLACE THIS WEEKEND. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING RAIN WITH SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. WINDY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL MOVE IN ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY WITH TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL. SNOW WILL BE LIKELY AT ALL LOCATIONS INCLUDING THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN. SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS... ESPECIALLY THE CASCADES AND BLUES. THE COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

We'll have our Santa love to keep us warm ... and a lot of boozes.
