On Saturday, December 1, 2018, from 10:00 am-12:00 pm Clancys Restaurant, for a 4th year will open its doors for a special Teddy Bear Breakfast that helps support Independence House.

The restaurant, which transforms its decor to a Christmas wonderland will host a full buffet breakfast complete with Belgium waffle decorating station.

Elves will greet and mingle with families throughout the morning, and Santa will arrive for a special visit with all of the children.

Each year the children are dazzled by the six foot five inch tall Santa, aka State Representative Tim Whelan.

What makes this event even more special is that all the children have the opportunity to chat with Santa about their wishes, and each child is gifted with a brand-new plush teddy bear they can take home.
