- Write your message to Santa
- Place your letter in an envelope, and include a self-addressed envelope with a stamp so that Santa can write you back
- Drop your letter off at the VMCC in our special mailbox!
- VMCC address: 8055 Barbara Ave

Holiday Lights Contest Update
Looking for Light up the Heights? There are several holiday light tours in our city and surrounding area. To avoid overlapping tours and community confusion, we've decided to step away from hosting our own holiday lights contest.
We're excited to focus on exploring new holiday family program ideas for the future! In the meantime, we encourage you to join one of these wonderful options:
- Visit Inver Grove Heights' Holiday Lights Contest
- Joe Atkins' Holiday Lights Map:
- View the map
- Comment on Joe's Facebook post or send him an email to add your home to the map
Both are free to join; click the links above to learn more. Thank you for being part of our bright community, and we hope you'll join us in celebrating the holidays in new and fun ways soon!
