BEEP & GREET WITH SANTA AND THE GRINCH
Chicopee, MA, December 9, 2020– The holiday season may look and feel a little different this year, but the Springfield Museums have teamed up with Mercedes-Benz of Springfield to spread some holiday cheer with a family fun “Beep & Greet” drive through experience!
“Peter and I know it might be difficult for families to see Santa this year. We hope this event hosted by the Springfield Museums adds a little more holiday cheer to the season for us all.” — Michelle Wirth, Owner of Mercedes-Benz of Springfield
The Experience
The Beep and Greet will take place December 11 and 12, 2020 from 5:30pm-7:30pm in the parking lot of the Springfield Museums and is an opportunity for families in cars to wave from a social distance to the Grinch and to Santa.
“We figure this is an excellent way to share Grinchy JOY while also keeping safe,” -Jenny Powers, Family Engagement Coordinator for the Museums
Each family receives one free book per car and one Grinch-themed craft per child. Children will also have an opportunity to drop off a letter to Santa and check with his elves to see if they are on the infamous “Naughty or Nice” list. The Springfield Museums are offering in-person Grinchmas programming all through December, as well as the amazing holiday exhibit, Gingerbread in Wonderland.
