“It’s such a nice community event,” said Denise Tomey, Carousel Ranch executive director. “We’re looking forward to a great day.”

Tomey will join Santa and his entourage for the event, as will Ralph Pistone, Pardee Homes vice president. Local dignitaries and elected officials are also expected to attend.
