Snow Sisters usher in Holiday Magic with help of GD Reindeer

Snow Sisters usher in Holiday Magic with help of GD Reindeer

Story and Photos by Tegan Shermikas

The Snow Sisters from Fairygodmother’s Events are igniting the hearts of local children and their parents as the Christmas season in the gorge is underway. 

They made their season debut at Goldendale’s Reindeer Farm on Saturday, Nov. 19th.



This magic-filled afternoon kicked off with hot cocoa for all the guests and a grand musical entrance from the Sisters. The holiday spirit was in the air as the Sisters led the children through a multitude of different activities. 

Each young guest could get up close to the Snow Sisters throughout the whole experience. And what an experience this was; the children could barely hold in their excitement as the festivities began.  

But what could be done about the notorious Wiggles that sneak up on children? 

There was dancing, reindeer games and an exhilarating ornament hunt that helped rid these little ones of their pent-up energy. 

After decorating the Christmas tree with the sisters, the children sat down and penned letters to Santa. Next was a photo op with the Snow Sisters and their reindeer companion. The Goldendale Reindeer wranglers were standing by to answer any and all questions related to the sisters’ best friend. 

Now, what would be the cherry on top of this Christmas sundae-like event? 

That’s easy. 

Meeting Santa! 

Santa and Mrs. Claus were standing by in the barn with a sleigh full of comfy pillows and warm blankets. Each family was able to hand deliver their special Christmas letters to the big man. Parents took this opportunity to snap photos and create Christmas memories with their children. As always, a few of the littles were a bit cautious of the jolly-man himself. Through all the cheerful pictures one thing rang true, the season of hope and magic is here.
