“One of the great traditions of holiday shopping at The Westchester and The Galleria at White Plains is the annual family visit to the Simon Santa Photo Experience,” said Paula Kelliher, area director of mall marketing for The Westchester and The Galleria at White Plains. “I know Santa can’t wait to greet children bringing him their holiday wishes.”

 

The popular Pet Photo Night returns to the Simon Santa Photo Experience at The Westchester and The Galleria at White Plains this year. Many pet owners view their pet as an integral member of the family and are just as extravagant in caring for their pets as their “human” family members. Because some of our customers may suffer from pet allergies, Pet Photo nights are hosted after regular mall closing and the set gets an extensive cleaning following the event to remove dander, etc. Pet Photo Night at The Westchester will take place on Sunday, November 24 and Sunday, December 15 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Center Court. Pet Photo Night at The Galleria at White Plains will take place on Monday, December 16 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Fashion Level 2. All pets should be kept leashed or caged prior to visit.

 

The Noerr Programs, operators of the Santa Photo Experience at The Westchester and The Galleria at White Plains, is sharing the heart of Santa online this holiday season, through the “BeMerrySanta®” program where families can keep up with Santa’s daily musings on his Facebook page at facebook.com/BeMerrySanta or Twitter @BeMerrySanta. Parents can also input their child’s good deed into Santa’s Magical Badge Generator and then print out their child’s customized badge, or show it to Santa on a smartphone or tablet during their visit.

 

Guests to every Noerr set will have the opportunity to share Santa’s spirit of generosity by making a donation via The Noerr Programs to U.S. rural children in need through Save the Children, a 75-year-old non-profit organization. To create even more magic for donors, The Noerr Programs will offer a chance for a lucky family of four to win a trip to Orlando, Florida.
