“Santa left us a sack full of presents, 300 to be exact, for children who made the nice list this year and we’re setting up a drive-thru to deliver them,” said MPO President Layn Mudder. Community members are welcome to get in line, in their vehicle, to grab a gift for each child present while they last.

Each adult attending the Great Gift Giveaway will get a flyer that includes details about the Candy Caravan, a 2021 Mandan Community Calendar and a candy cane that could be worth $10 in Mandan Bucks.

The gifts will be given out curbside style. Drivers are asked to enter the parking lot west of Hirsh Florist & Gifts (211 W Main St.) and will exit from in front of The Depot. Volunteers will be onsite to direct traffic. Participants will remain in their cars for the event.
