Monticello Raceway horsemen will be taking the attending
children on 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.
The party will be centered on the third floor of the
grandstand in the Casino where various other activities are planned for the
children.
“This year we will be bigger and better than ever and there
will be something for each and every child,” noted Alan Schwartz the president
of the Horsemen’s Association. “We have plenty of gifts; bicycles of all kinds,
games, toys, stuffed animals, and even remote controlled cars.”
There will games to play and the youngsters can have
their faces made- up by a professional face painter. And Elvis will be in the
building! Eric “Elvis’ Lost Brother”
Bressi will entertain, completely gratis.
“We have heard from good sources that “Santa” might
make an appearance as the Good Will Ambassador for the Candy Cane Pace,
the special holiday race featured on the racing program that afternoon,”
added Mrs. Dale Berenson, the executive secretary of administration for the Horsemen’s
Association. “And once again, all children will receive a candy cane after the
Candy Cane Pace is completed.”
Attendance to the Holiday Party is FREE and it promises to
be a day the kids will remember. Sweet treats, cookies and hot chocolate will
also be given to all the attending children courtesy of Monticello Raceway….. and, of course, Santa.
