Bingles is back to visit us from the North Pole, and he’s been promoted to Director of Holiday Engagement!
Season’s Greetings Mesa!
I’m so excited to be back in my favorite city to spread some holiday cheer!
Santa Claus sent me to downtown Mesa again so we can have fun roaming the area together. Every week I will appear in a different place. I can be mischievous so I might be in some interesting spots. I’ll always stay downtown because there is plenty to see, I’m exploring lots!
Naughty or nice, your actions will show. Please don’t touch or move me as Santa will know. It’s important I roam on my own, so I can eventually find my way back home.
I can’t wait to create new memories in downtown Mesa with you all. Helping you celebrate the holiday season; it should be a ball!
XO, Bingles
