Snow and Santa Claus

By Megan Trawick

Snowballs were flying and carolers were singing in Stevenson Ranch today during Mr. and Mrs. Claus’ visit to the neighborhood, sponsored by the Stevenson Ranch Home Owners Association.

With only 19 days left until Christmas, kids lined the street to tell Santa Claus what they wanted for Christmas. Katie Cochran, 5, enjoyed throwing snowballs at her dad and asked for princess Barbie clothes.

Aside from tree lighting and visits with Santa Claus, the event also ran a toy drive. Roughly 150 toys will be delivered to the Sheriff’s station and Highway Patrol officers, who then give the toys to local charities, said event coordinator Wendy Ash.

The Holiday Tree Lighting and Winter Wonderland celebrated its 12 year anniversary, according to Ash.
