After his exciting and unforgettable debut last year
SINTERKLAAS (SINT NICOLAAS)
IS COMING TO SOUTHERN ARIZONA AGAIN!
to celebrate his birthday together with the boys and girls of every age!
The 'Goedheiligman' (Good Holy Man) will be arriving in person in Hereford, AZ on Sunday December 1, shortly after 1:00 PM to meet with all of us. See venue information on the left.
Rumors have it that he will be bringing lots and lots of presents, typical Sinterklaas candy and some delicious Dutch treats!! There will be Sinterklaas music, food, drinks, games and other fun activities!
Since December 1 is only a few weeks away, we need to make sure we are all prepared for Sinterklaas so that the Goedheiligman knows how many boys and girls are coming and how much he needs to bring!
So here is what you need to do if you plan on personally meeting Sinterklaas on December 1st:
