It's that time of year once again!!! The RC Christmas Light Display is happy and excited to announce that Santa will be returning to visit with his friends. As we did last year, Christmas music will be filling the air as "Santa & Friends" will be taking pictures, handing out candy canes, and collecting letters for Santa.
We will once again be collecting donations for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. 100% of all proceeds are given to St. Jude. We were able to raise $681 last year in the three nights we put on events, however with the generous match of all donations by my Aunt Cindy Poggiogalle, the total raised was $1,362. (Thank you to all who came to support our cause; we hope to see you again this year!!!)
Our goal this year is to once again provide some holiday spirit, provide a memorable experience, and raise more money for the children and their families in need. We will be looking to put on more events this year, thus planning on 3 to 5 nights (weekends), along with a few possible impromptu weeknights. (Follow our page to stay informed on all upcoming events.)
------------------------------------------------------------
Please see below for the upcoming event this Saturday:
------------------------------------------------------------
1. If you are planning on coming to visit us, please click the attend button so we can plan accordingly.
2. Santa & Friends will have a setup ready for pictures. We ask that you be patient, compassionate, and adhere to all directions given by Santa's helpers.
3. If you are planning on parking and coming to take pictures with Santa, we are at the end of a cul-de-sac; we ask that you use the available space within the cul-de-sac curbs, and if crowded, please use the extended road to park and walk down to us. There are those who will still be just driving through, so we ask that anyone, be it parking / driving through be mindful of all those within the area. Santa will have helpers directing. (As we can't control the amount of people at one time, we want to take all precautions. Team effort, patience, and compassion.)
***Please do not block any driveways on the street; please give the homeowners ample space to exit their driveways.***
4. We will have a mailbox for children to drop off letters for Santa. If you are wanting a response from Santa, please include a stamped envelope with a return address along with your letter so Santa can write back. (As this is a work in progress, and Santa has no way of calculating exact numbers, please be patient, and know Santa is doing his best.)
As this continues to grow and develop, we ask that you please be patient and understanding. All involved are volunteering and doing the best they can to their ability to provide some holiday cheer, and provide a memorable experience for you and your families. Know that some of Santa's Friends could be missing throughout the events, and things can changes at times; in some cases, event dates could be cancelled and shifted. (Santa & Friends will be trying to avoid any of that from happening, but things happen. At the end of the day, we are a team of "once we commit, we commit", but as mentioned, things can happen.)
With that, we look forward to kicking off the holiday season with you this Saturday!!! Bundle up!!!!
Love Santa 🎅
