ATTENTION TO ALL THOSE THAT HAD PICTURES TAKEN WITH SANTA at our 2024 Christmas Day event.

We now have those 5x7 color pictures ready for you!

Please text/call Debi at 719-588-3815 to discuss how you want these very nice photos delivered to you!

Identifying all the parties in the pictures could be interesting, but 'where there's a will there is a way' and we are committed to provide you with the 'Photo with Santa' as promised!

One of our guests, Netanya Romero, gave us permission to post the picture of her precious little boys with Santa. We emailed her a copy, but now she can also have the printed one!

It seems that the internet was very flakey on Christmas Day and simply would not stay connected long enough to print the photos. Our sincerest apologies and we thank all of you in advance for your patience and for attending our annual Christmas Day event!

Our 2024 Christmas Day event was filled with ‘Photo’s with Santa’, green chili provided by Alamosa Nino’s Restaurant, Pozole provided by Rick Esquibel (one of our directors) was also a hit with our guests. A large variety of desserts were enjoyed by those attending our event.

Many thanks to the Knights of Columbus for allowing us to use their venue of the Columbus Hall for our annual Christmas Day event!

TOYS FOR TOTS not only did they donate toys for our event but their local representatives/Rowena and Chris Martinez helped serve food to our many guests! AND, helped out in the kitchen/cleanup!

A huge thank you goes out to Mark Launsberry for donating 1500 lbs of potatoes in 5 lb bags that were also given away to those attending.

Volunteers play such an important role in making this event happen on Christmas Day! This year we were honored to have the Hutchings Family/Amber, Kenth, Taylor, Ellzabeth, and Charles helped us out with setting up on the 24th AND also on Christmas Day through clean-up! We were so very thankful for these extra ‘hands on deck’ as we couldn’t completed this event without them!!!

A SPECIAL THANK YOU GOES OUT TO SANTA FOR MAKING TIME TO ATTEND OUR EVENT!

Thank you’s also go out to our photography crew, Kelli & Shannon not only for taking the ‘Photo’s with Santa’ but for helping clean up the stage area!

SPECIAL NOTE:
Technology can be create havoc with the best laid out plans. Our photographer experienced internet issues that prevented printing out many of the photos that were taken today. For those that didn’t receive their actual printed photo today, do not dispair! Please email me/Debi at [email protected] with your mailing address and we will be sure you receive a printed copy of your ‘Photo with Santa’ via mail. You can also reach out to me via phone at 719-588-3815.
