What better way to get into the holiday spirit, or spirits, than through a pub crawl?
The third annual Chattanooga Santa Claus Pub Crawl to benefit underprivileged children is Saturday night, according to its creator, Kirby Waddel Yost. This year, The Salvation Army will be the main beneficiary, she said.
"The basic idea of this event is that people come out and support Chattanooga businesses and local charities," she said in an email. "To participate, people must bring a new, unwrapped toy, according to Salvation Army standards, to donate. Although people hopefully visit several of the participating locations, it is only necessary to donate a toy at your first stop. Each location will have receptacles for collecting donated toys.
"In return for their donations, participating local businesses offer discounts to those who Santa Pub Crawl. And it is easy to decipher the Santa Pub Crawlers because everyone dresses up like Santa Claus or another Christmas character. Last year, we collected hundreds of toys, and I think everyone had fun participating."
A sub event designed to include kids has been added this year, she said. Called the Santa Kids Crawl, the concept is the same, though the drop-off locations are set up specifically for families and kids, Yost said. All are in the North Shore area.
Participating "pubs" can be found in three zones: on the North Shore, downtown and Southside.
Things will get under way at 4 p.m. Saturday.
