Free Snaps With Santa at Valley Post

Valley Post invites the community to celebrate the season at Snaps with Santa on Saturday, December 13th from 11:30 AM–2:00 PM. Santa and his head elf will be on-site to hear wish lists, spread holiday cheer, and take festive photos with families. Kids, friends, and pets are all welcome for free photos. Don’t forget your camera to capture the memories—there is no cost for photos, though donations benefiting Children’s Harbor are welcome. All proceeds will support the nonprofit’s mission to strengthen families of seriously ill children through refuge, respite, and resources.

Families can sip cocoa, meet Santa, and enjoy a merry afternoon at Valley Post, Chelsea’s newest dining and entertainment destination. After photos, guests are invited to explore Valley Post’s four restaurants: Hero Diner, Luca & Lucy, Little Donkey, and Rodney Scott’s BBQ.

About Valley Post
Valley Post is a new 6-acre dining and entertainment destination located at the northeast corner of Highway 280 and Dunnavant Valley Road in Chelsea, Alabama. A collaboration between developer Mike Mouron of Capstone Real Estate Development and The Pihakis Restaurant Group (PRG), the project brings four of PRG’s signature restaurant brands to the growing Shelby County community.

“I have lived in Shelby County for over 40 years and have done business in this community for decades,” said Nick Pihakis, Founder and CEO of PRG. “I’ve watched our community grow in exciting ways, and we want to enhance what’s already happening here. PRG wants to place our home-grown brands in the great communities that surround Birmingham.”
Named for its location at the lip of the valley, Valley Post is designed as a community hub—a place to “post up” for dining, entertainment, and connection.
