The Santa House, an Auburn tradition for 38 years, again will be open for families and children wishing to visit and have a photo taken with jolly St. Nick.

The Auburn Optimist Club officially will open Santa House in the B Street Plaza off Main Street in downtown Auburn for photos with Santa before and after next Saturday’s 4:30 p.m. parade.

A 4-by-6 photo with Santa costs $10, but there will be a $1 discount for those families who make a canned food donation to the Auburn Food Bank.

Proceeds from the Santa House, sponsored by the non-profit Optimist Club, will support the club’s youth programs.
