On that afternoon the jolly ole gent will be horse drawn to
the winners circle and if it is anything like it has been in the past few
years, the children will be cheering.
Santa’s visit is part of the special 10-race card on Sunday
which has been added to coincide with the children’s fourth annual Free,
Fabulous, Fantasy Holiday Party.
The day will get underway with the first race going to post
at 12:25pm and the featured Candy Cane Pace will be the second race on the
card.
After that race Santa will ride around the track in a sulky
pulled by a beautiful white horse who’s reputed to be a buddy of the ‘Rudolph’
(you know who). Hordes of children will join Santa for the winners circle
presentation and each will receive a candy cane.
After that race the party begins in earnest at 1pm.
Monticello Raceway horsemen will take the children to the third floor of the
grandstand for a magical make- believe journey to the North Pole
where they will visit with, and have photos
taken, with Santa and his Elves in Snowy
Candy Cane Land.
Gifts and games of all kinds will be given away and along
with sweet treats, cookies, hot chocolate and the kids can even have
their faces painted by a professional. And ‘Elvis’ will be in the building.
Attendance to the Holiday Party is FREE and the offer
is extended to all children, near and far..
