Children are invited to participate in a free ‘Tis the Snowman Season program at the Cape Coral Central Post Office, 1030 S.E. 9th Ave., on Saturday, Nov. 28, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The annual program will feature activities centered around a snowman theme. Adults are invited to take a break from the busy weekend of shopping to bring their children to this festive program. Volunteer adults will assist the children with all activities.

A special Letters to Santa writing station will be available. Families can have a photo taken that can be used for holiday greeting cards from NetPost Cardstore; a valid e-mail address is required to complete the process. Children will be able to guess the number of candies in a jar, complete a holiday paper maze, and get a holiday face tattoo.

The children will be able to make a snowman finger puppet and learn how to remove used stamps from envelopes in order to start a stamp collection. In addition, V.O.I.C.E. representatives will be on hand to provide fingerprinting for the children. Adults will have an opportunity to see a Click-n-Ship demonstration, which enables you to print postage for your holiday packages from home with FREE delivery confirmation and FREE carrier pick up of the package(s).
