A message from the North Pole to the kind people of Kringleville, Maine USA. Thank you to the welcoming folks in the booming city of Waterville. There is so much growth in the heart of your beautiful city. Santa and Mrs. Claus truly enjoyed their time at the Kringleville cabin with all who visited this season. We look forward to what next season has in store for our Christmas cabin filled with magic at Castonguay Square.
Santa is always watching you grow and to see if you’ve been naughty or nice. Mrs. Claus was tickled to see how much you’ve all grown. Santa and Mrs. Claus encourage all of you to continue to grow and learn. Whether you’re learning how to play an instrument, taking voice lessons, building extreme Lego structures or trying to be a better listener, we’re proud of you. Keep on learning, keep on listening and keep on trying. All we ask is that you try your best.
Santa and Mrs. Claus always look forward to visiting with the Kringleville area residents, as well as so many who travel miles and miles to share stories with Santa and see Mrs. C too. This season we had visitors from around the globe; Poland, Hawaii, China, Korea, Virginia, Arkansas, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Seattle, the Philippines and all over Maine and New England. We love that you all continue to be part of the Kringleville story season after season and keep the tradition in such a wonderful city.
Year after year, Kringleville has more and more visitors line up to visit with Jolly Old Santa. The Kringleville “reach” of “followers” has grown this season from hundreds to thousands, 3,284 to be exact. There was a growth of 275 percent of our connection with Kringleville followers this season and an increase of 1,850 percent in engagements while Santa and Mrs. Claus were in town. Again, this season, visitors expressed to Santa and Mrs. Claus that though the wait is long, once you’re inside the cabin you truly feel the magic of Christmas making it well worth the wait. Hearing it is “worth the wait” again and again makes Santa and Mrs. Claus feel like visitor’s time in the cabin is special for each individual. This season the wait was a little more tolerable thanks to Kringleville supporters who donated outdoor heat, rain cover, hot chocolate, cookies and entertainment.
Kringleville continues with the support of The Children’s Discovery Museum, led by Executive Director Amarinda Keys. Sponsors were the Children’s Discovery Museum, Central Maine Chevy, Selah Tea Café, Day’s Jewelers and Bangor Savings Bank. Additional supporters are GHM Insurance, Marden’s, the Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce, Central Maine Photography, Fabian Oil, U.S. Cellular, Pine Tree Cellular, REZ Life Church, Waterville High School Key Club and others who share in the Kringleville Christmas spirit.
Santa and Mrs. Claus would like to recognize and especially thank volunteers, Scott McAdoo, Rick Bryant and Jackson for their time and talent at Kringleville. We thank Central Maine Photography’s head elf, Cinnamon, who continues to offer printed photos season after season. We thank Cinnamon for her time and commitment to Kringleville for 11 years.
All of us at the North Pole, appreciate the generosity of Central Maine Chevy being Kringleville’s major sponso. If you or your business would like to contribute to the success of this timeless Waterville tradition, please contact Keys at at 207-622-2209 or email amarinda@childrensdiscoverymuseum.org.
