Ugh. If I hear Christmas mentioned this time of year, I want to cry. Normally, I hear it in the form of my 5 year old telling me he is adding something he saw on TV to his "Christmas list." Well, pal, it's only February.... Santa will probably forget by then!
However, here at Fun Services, we think cross-seasonally (yes, I made that up). That means we're thinking end-of-school year carnivals in October, summer Corporate events in March, fall fundraising in July, and Santa's Secret Shops and Holiday Gift Shops in February.

Why do we do this? This is the best time of year to meet up with other Fun Services from around the United States this time of year to to see and set up the new line for 2015. We get great new items, get to talk to other "Elves" to see what worked for them and what didn't, and tell them what is working and not working for us. It's a time for us to breathe and reflect.
In that respect, we love to see schools preparing early with us. This helps not only us look forward to 2015's Santa's Secret Shop, but there are important aspects for you, too.
First, it allows YOU to prepare - line up your dates, your space, your volunteers. Getting those items lined up early takes the pressure off in November.
Second, it allows you time to get to know us and our line. There are other companies that do services like Santa's Secret Shop, so we'd love to prove to you why WE are the original - and the best at what we do - and have been for over 40 years. We visit with schools at Traveling Showcases in various locations during February and March, host schools here at our warehouse in Bellevue, and will come right to your school!

So just because Santa is on vacation doesn't mean we are here at Fun Services. We are looking forward to 2015, and working with you!
