OPH volunteers are super excited to be at the Steinhardt Brewing in Frederick, Maryland, located along Carroll Creek on the east side of East Street. Our annual Pics with Santa is one of our most beloved events! December 7 is also "First Saturday" which is a great day to explore downtown Frederick amidst Frederick's festive holiday environment!

SANTA will be with us to sit with your furry friends, family or children for your holiday picture. Pictures will be uploaded to the OPH event page for folks to download. All available for a minimum $10 donation.

Santa loves everyone and hopes to see lots of furry family members. He might even bring his own furry family member, Rudolph - yes, true!
