Jefferson Telecom plans to welcome back “Telly,” the Elf on the Shelf® to the showroom Nov. 25 through Dec. 20.
The Elf on the Shelf story written by Carol V. Aebersold and Chandra A. Bell has become a popular holiday classic. The Elf on the Shelf is a special scout elf sent from the North Pole to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists. Each day, the elf returns to the Jefferson Telecom showroom in a different place to watch the children and reports back to Santa at night.
Area children are encouraged to visit the showroom often. Each child under 14 years old that finds Telly can put his or her name into a weekly drawing for Chamber Bucks. Drawings will be held Nov. 30 and Dec. 7, 14, and 21.
Jefferson Telecom has partnered with area public libraries to read the Elf on the Shelf story during story hour and participate in a craft activity. The schedule is as follows: Wednesday, Nov. 20, at Grand Junction at 2 pm; Wednesday, Dec. 4, at Jefferson at 2:30 pm; Thursday, Dec. 5 at Paton at 5 pm; Wednesday, Dec. 11, at Churdan at 9 and 10 am, and at Scranton at 3:30 pm.
A special reading is set for Friday, Nov. 29, at Jefferson Telecom at 1:30 and 3:30 pm, with a visit from Santa from 2-4 pm. Pictures can be taken with Santa and cookies will be available.
Mary Jo Koch, Jefferson Telecom customer service representative, organized the events last year, and plans to assist again this year. Koch states, “We look forward to having Telly re-appear this year as he helps to spread the holiday magic with the children. We hope that parents will join in the fun by bringing their children to one of the story hours and to the showroom throughout the holidays.”
