# # # 🎅 MEET SANTA RYAN and MRS. CLAUS!!

Families will be visiting with **Professional Santa Ryan**, a professionally trained, background-checked and insured Santa who makes appearances throughout Minnesota.

Santa Ryan's professional work includes appearances at **shopping centers as well as a high-end luxury department store at the famed Mall of America.** This November, families in Southern Minnesota can enjoy that same professional Santa experience without making the trip to the Twin Cities — right here in **Beautiful Downtown Madelia!**

And with a private 15-minute appointment, there is time to capture more than just the traditional posed Santa picture. Vanessa can photograph those wonderful little moments — the conversation, the smiles, the excitement and the interaction that make a visit with Santa so memorable. ❤️

📅 **APPOINTMENTS & RESERVATIONS BEGIN SEPTEMBER 15TH!**

Reservations will be taken **ONLINE through Hope & Faith's website.** Because every family receives its own 15-minute appointment, the number of sessions available on November 14th will be limited.

📍 **Hope & Faith**
23 West Main Street
Madelia, Minnesota

🎃🍦 **SOME PEOPLE WIN THE LOTTERY… KARLA GOT THE FIRST SCOOP OF PUMPKIN PIE!** 🍦🎃

Some people get excited when they win the lottery. Others get excited when they get a new car.

And then there’s **Karla**… who gets excited when a humble little gourd becomes a delicious scoop of ICE CREAM! 😂🎃

And OH… is this one good!

🥧🎃 **Cedar Crest Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream** brings together the warm, comforting flavors we love about pumpkin pie — creamy pumpkin flavor, those familiar autumn spices, and delicious pie-inspired goodness all blended into rich, creamy ice cream.

It's like somebody took a slice of pumpkin pie, added a scoop of ice cream…and decided to just mix the whole wonderful thing together. 😋

Our freezer is officially beginning its **turn toward FALL**, with seasonal flavors starting to join our incredible selection of **45 delicious ice cream flavors!** 🍂🍦

Come grab a scoop, a dish or a cone and find out why Karla is smiling!

LED candlelight illuminates spaces gently and safely. We have faux candles, decorative pieces, and the popular flicker flames to cast warm and dancing light on the fall evenings ahead! Plus, many have built in timers to go on...and off...automatically. Being LED, you know that not only are they low battery users, but they remain cool so they are safe for little hands. Stop in and check out our amazing selection!
