i am in wv and as far as i know wv doesnt have a club. @Randy Reed told me about this club and that i can join a meeting. if that is allowed great just let me know the instructions

this past weekend, my wife and I dressed as Father and Mother Yule. We both had a shop at a local craft Bazaar called the Yuletide Village, held at the Ohio Renaissance Faire grounds. I was sitting in the corner watching the customers when a young lass of 4 came up to me and asked if I was the "real" Santa. This threw me for a loop, I told her yes, and what is more I am the spirit of the season, like all my brothers you see dressed similar to me. I doubt she understood my meaning, but she seemed happy with the answer. She then told me she remembered sitting on my lap when she was 2, and seeing me when she was just a baby. I smiled and asked her how old she was now. I'M 4! I acted shocked and laughed. And said YES, yes you are, you are the perfect size for 4, I should have guessed. I looked and her and smiled and asked if she had been a good girl this year. Her answer was priceless. A shrug and an I don't know. He mom gave her a big hug and said the she was a VERY good girl this year. We chatted a bit more about an Elf named "Zippy" and she wanted to know if she was around. I told her No, she's checking on something for me, but I'm sure she'll be back soon. Mrs. Yule, who was sitting next to me making her jewelry reached into her basket and handed the girl and her sister a small packet with a small peppermint stick and a charm necklace she had made and then handed them a Yule tree ornament made from ribbon and a couple of wooden beads. When they were leaving the lass cried out "Don't worry Santa, I'll be good!" I almost cried. I hadn't expected this to happen and I was totally unprepared for it. It seemed to all work out though.

Yes we are still active our next meeting is August 10, 2019 see link to website below. http://www.buckeyesantas.com/ If you have any questions please feel free to PM me or respond to this post.

February the last 2 yrs have been horrible & the meetings were cancelled due to snowy & icey roads. I will keep you informed. Best Regards for a Safe & Prosperous 2012, Santa Eddie

ha ha ha, Hey Pirate this notice is a year old. Guess they are not going to post their meeting notice, maybe hoping nobody from that state up north comes down this time. The other years we would be hearing a ton of cheering and jawboning about football. But I guess with a 3-3 team down there and a 6-0 team up here has changed all that. They are going back into their John Cooper mode. GO BLUE INDEED!!!

GO!!!!!BLUE!!!!!.............Spice made me do it....LOL

Jim I think you are so right.

CindyLu... you will find the pictures of our August Meeting here... including one of the ladies Buckeye Santas August Meeting Pictues ... and I have to say getting the ladies to pose for pictures can be challenging sometimes... maybe they just like when we beg!!!

Please make sure, when you take your group photo that ALL in attendance are photographed. Usually, most groups will take one of just the Santas and then another photo with the Mrs. Claus', helpers, etc. along with the Santas. As much as we love all you Santas, we also love all the others that make such gatherings so special~

I wish all my Santa friends a good time, but I will be home with my brother-in-law throwing bricks at the TV as Michigan plays at Notre Dame that day.

Well, it is official Mayor Milani of the Village of Northfield, OH has renamed the village by proclamation to North Pole, OH for the day of Saturday July 10th, 2010 in honor of the Buckeye Santas meeting and Oath Signing Ceremony that were held there today. How cool is that! Everyone had a great time in North Pole, OH today. There were over 40 Santas and Mrs. Clauses in attendance including one from MI and five Mr. and Mrs. Clauses from NY. I wish to say thanks to the Buckeye Santas, the Dolphin Family Resturant and to Jim and Cindy Hudson for hosting the meeting and Oath Signing Ceremony, what fun we had.

ok Dennis. I had a good time, learned a few things, and enjoyed the kids who saw all us Santa's. I even got in a few bars of Hail to the Victors before I was hooted down. Labron James was a no show.

Sorry Russ, our meetings always start at noon, my oversight.

Sorry Bonnie and myself can't make it Dennis. We'll miss you all. Have a great time. Santa Vern and Bonnie Claus

hay guys I don't see a time mentioned anywhere???? That would be useful information. You may all know, but your guest don't??? Hope I am not late.

Update from Santa Jim Hudson: Good evening everyone! Cindy and I just returned from having dinner at the Dolphin. They have a nice sign on their counter that has the Buckeye Santas logo and the words... "You better not pout, you better not cry, the Buckeye Santas are coming to town!". The staff is pretty jazzed and several of them came by our table to let us know they can't wait. Some are wanting to bring in their children and grandchildren to see all the Santas so be ready to meet and greet some happy faces! I had a nice conversation with Mayor Milani this morning and he is looking forward to joining us for lunch on Saturday and has arranged for local newspaper coverage. Now, Santa Jim North, I want you to pay attention to this... Mayor Milani has agreed to change the name of Northfield Village toNorth Pole Village for this Saturday in honor of the Buckeye Santas! The Mayor intends to do this by official proclamation at our meeting. Santa Don Beck, I think this should be our first order of business of the day and should take place before saying grace and ordering our meals. I will leave that up to you to decide. In closing, goodnight to all. For those coming for lunch, fellowship, training and an all around good time, please travel safe. A special Thank You goes to Santa Dennis Blanden for providing the Official Santa Oath Ceremony and signing at this meeting. Santa Jim

Bring it on Santa JimL, we'll make room for you. I would hate to see you waste a pass...lol.
