All activities are by choice. “Buy” tickets below for the activities you plan to attend with the group. Deadline is May 20 to order tickets for Conway Scenic Train\, Mt. Washington Cog Railroad and Auto Road Tour\, Cannon Mount Tramway\, and Clark’s Bears. Order promptly since some events can sell out. Many are free or you pay as you go such as for meals but we still need you to register for those too. All event fees are standard or senior rates with no added charges. \nYou are certainly free to choose your own itinerary and meet up with the group at any time. Or attendees may link up with others in the group for activities not included here. In addition to the activities offered for the group\, there are many more  attractions\, shops\, natural sites\, and activities your can do on your own or with other members. We tried to allow time for you to explore on your own. Here’s a link to the Mount Washington Valley Digital Guides and brochures. \nOvernight Lodging is on your own however we will have a recommended “headquarters” hotel to stay at in Attitash Mountain area on Friday night and in Littleton on Saturday night.

Everyone is welcome to make this their first stop even if you aren’t planning to record videos. Folks may want to use the setting for promotional photos as well. \nA professional videographer will be on hand to record short promotional videos for free. This is funded by SANTA BARN for all our NESS members.  Videos will be professionally lit\, with multiple takes and professional editing. Videos are important—they help clients see the magic you bring. Reserve your spot in one of the hourly sessions to record short promo videos to use to promote your business or share on social media. These will be short (30-60 seconds) “elevator speech” video recordings. You may be able to record a few different messages if time allows. \nCome prepared with a written script(s). Folks will be available to help you polish your script\, practice your presentation\, and record the pitches for you. Suggestions on editing and finishing the videos for use will also be provided.  We are planning on 10-15 minutes for the actual recording. Plan to be there for about an hour so you can get a great finished product to use right away. \nBring whatever outfit(s) you want to appear in.

SUMMARY:Finding Off-Season Claus Work - Zoom Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Educational Zoom Program\nFinding Off-Season Claus Work\nThursday\, April 3\, 2025 (7:00 – 9:00 pm)\n \nWhile we Christmas performers are certainly busy during the season\, for the other 10 months our work opportunities are few and far between. But they are out there if we learn where and how to seek them out. \nChristmas in July events are not uncommon\, especially at campgrounds\, summer camps\, and sport venues. In recent years\, retail businesses have started using the “holidays” for sales and customer promotions. Our challenge is to make Claus in demand all the other days of the year. \nThis workshop will look at the kinds of appearances that are common for LEON/Christmas in July and other summer gigs. However\, we will be taking a broader look at where we can create other activities and services during the off-season. Hopefully\, folks will go away with a variety of options to offer this summer. \nA panel of NESS members will share their experiences with off-season work. Santa Dan Greenleaf will facilitate the session. \nHow to find\, market\, book\, and manage off-season appearances will be covered. We will also discuss outfits\, event activities\, summer storytelling\, and other skills. Practical advice useful for the regular season on reaching prospects\, marketing\, booking agreements\, negotiating\, getting paid\, and retaining clients will be offered. \nWhile the session has off-season work as its focus\, the information\, strategies\, and resources shared will also be valuable for our regular in-season activities. \nThe Zoom session is open free to all. Please RSVP on the NESS Website to reserve your spot.
