The shopping center will host themed weeknight events and promotions throughout the holiday season.

DALLAS — Mockingbird Station, the pioneer of mixed-used developments in Texas, kicks off its 2007 “Hot Holiday Happenings” Monday, Nov. 5 beginning at 5 p.m. with Happy Hour specials and dining discounts for adults and children at participating restaurants, followed at 7 p.m. by a free family movie screening in the open-air staging area next to Angelika Film Center & Café.

This kick-off event is a prelude to The Station’s “Hot Holiday Happenings,” a series of fun events and special offers with a unique themed activity open to the public every weeknight, 5 - 9 p.m., from Nov. 5 until Christmas (excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve).

In addition to these themed weeknight events, Mockingbird Station will act as the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex “hub” for the Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium World Record Toy Drive for Toys for Tots the week of Nov. 6-12. Dallas Mavericks’ Center Erick Dampier is supporting the toy drive and will be involved in special events surrounding it. Toys for Tots, in partnership with Walden Media and Fox Walden’s new film, Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is aiming to collect more than 12,000 pounds of toys in ten metro-areas across the U.S. in order to set a Guinness World Record for Largest Toy Drive.

* Monday, Nov. 12 at 6 p.m. in conjunction with “Family Night @ The Station” – Erick Dampier greeting fans, an early visit from Santa Clause and a weigh-in on The Station’s roundabout, where a giant scale will be used to gauge whether the Dallas market has reached its goal. (Following the weigh-in, a contingent of Marines will enact a ceremonial loading up of toys to transport to Toys for Tots’ warehouse in Arlington, from where the toys ultimately will be distributed to kids in need throughout North Texas.) Guests who bring an unwrapped toy will be able to get a picture with Santa, and are invited to stay afterwards for the special Family Night film on the plaza next to the Angelika Film Center
