ChristmasVille - Very Important Gnome (VIG) Club

The Very Important Gnome (VIG) Club is a unique experience where children ages 2 - 10 experience a magical Saturday morning before ChristmasVille begins!

Each child will receive a limited-edition swag bag, including the coveted VIG shirt! There will be two groups, rotating between a delicious breakfast at The Gathering Space prepared by SC Chef Ambassador, Rob Masone, and the Main Street Children's Museum for imaginative play while waiting for their private time with Santa! Our VIG club members will be the first to receive the Santa's Workshop map that will allow them to experience various stations throughout the festival.

This VIG event is all about the kids. While we know that the entire family will want to enjoy this VIG experience, we ask that only children ages 2-10 attend, accompanied by one adult. This will allow for more children to participate. While the breakfast is exclusive for the kids, adults, you can enjoy the hot coffee and witnessing the joy on your child's face.

Thanks to The Tuttle Company for sponsoring this event to create magical memories for participants. Sign up early, there are limited spots and it sells out fast!

About Jim Shore

Jim Shore’s popularity and success are the result of a lifetime of dedication, inspiration, and plain old hard work. Jim Shore grew up in rural South Carolina, the son of artistic parents who instilled a love of the traditional imagery of American folk art. His grandmother was a master quilter who taught him an appreciation for the patience and skill required to bring intricate designs to life.

Two of Jim’s biggest contributions include Heartwood Creek by Jim Shore, a line of folk-art inspired accessories, and his successful partnership with Disney. Jim’s unique design style applied to iconic Disney characters has made Disney Traditions by Jim Shore one of the most successful co-branded lines in the gift and home decor industry.
