The holidays are coming up, and for the next few weeks, shopping malls will be filled with people shopping for gifts for their loved ones. If you happen to be at Manassas Mall this holiday season, be sure to look up, and you’ll find our new banner hanging above Santa’s picture station!
You see banners and advertisements at shopping malls all the time, so it may not seem like a big deal to most. For us, however, it means a great deal. The opportunity to be represented in what may be the most populated part of the mall in December means that we’ll be able to reach out to many more families about all we have to offer! Many people will be at Santa’s station to take pictures with him, and our banner will be there for everyone to see!
The pictures on the banner are only a glimpse of all the fun and exciting programs we have waiting for you. After you’re done shopping, check out Breakfast with Santa or the Light Parade to get in the holiday spirit! We’re very excited for the opportunity to show families all of the recreational activities that are right in their neighborhood.
So if you’re at Manassas Mall shopping this holiday season and find our banner, be sure to take a selfie and share it on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. Don’t forget to tag us by using the hashtag #MPCC2018! We look forward to seeing all the new faces that will be stopping by thanks to this opportunity. You belong here!
