Valpo Santa C. is a real bearded Santa, possessing the Christmas spirit every day of the year.  With a twinkle in the eye, he seeks to bring the wonder of Christmas to all he encounters.  He is honored to be part of anyone's celebration regardless of the season or time of year.  Yes, Christmas can be celebrated any day and at any time!  Just use your imagination!

C. W. Howard established his Santa School in Albany, New York in 1937. He was the consulting Santa for "A Miracle on 34th Street" and was the Macy's parade Santa for many years.  The school, now located in Midland, Michigan continues to provide aspiring Santa's with all the tools needed to become the kind of Santa one hopes to meet and interact with.  Valpo Santa C. is a proud graduate of "the Harvard of Santa Schools", sharing this connection with wonderful Santas from all over the world.

Valpo Santa C received further training in storytelling,  performance technique, magic and joyful presence from Kris Kringle University and the Santa Hall of Fame recipient Stephen Gilliam.

North West Indiana's professional Santa has joyfully brought Christmas spirit to schools, churches, senior centers, homes and through video visits.  He volunteers for charities like Citizen Canines in Illinois to have photos taken with every kind of dog and friend imaginable.  He even made the 2023 calendar for December! Christmas joy was shared at brunch at the Cheese Cake Factor in Indianapolis,  visits at Rural King in Lafayette, corporate events Merrillville and Highland, Indiana, and family gatherings in Valparaiso. This year Valpo Santa C. will appear frequently  at the Bass Pro Shop in Portage!
