The event featured free toys for children, raffle giveaways for adults and students, and an array of activities, including face painting, balloon artistry, and pony rides. Attendees also enjoyed sweet treats and the opportunity to capture cherished holiday photos with Santa Claus.
“This event is all about celebrating the holiday spirit and bringing joy to the community,” Commissioner Arrington said during the festivities. “It’s always amazing to see families come together, especially during the holiday season. This year’s turnout is a testament to the strength and spirit of District 3, and I’m so grateful to our community partners for helping make it possible.”
The Party with Santa event, now an annual tradition, was made possible with the support of community partners such as The Early Learning Coalition and Osceola Reads. Together, they ensured every detail contributed to making the day special for attendees.
Commissioner Arrington highlighted the significance of the event in helping local families prepare for Christmas. “As we approach the holiday season, many families face challenges, and this event is a way to spread joy and provide some support,” he said. “Seeing the smiles on children’s faces as they receive their toys and watching families create memories together is what this season is all about.”
With another Party with Santa celebration in the books, Commissioner Arrington expressed his gratitude for the community’s continued participation and looks forward to next year’s event.
