SANTA
IN TOWN

(November
26)
It's official -- the holiday season has begun in Rancho
Murieta. Hundreds turned out Friday evening for the Community
Club's annual tree-lighting ceremony at the Plaza. Festivities
included a holiday-themed dance routine performed by students
of the Premier Dance Academy, horse-drawn wagon rides, and
the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus. Haleyann Hart was one
of many children who had her picture taken with the pair.
The only hitch in the proceedings came when the tree was
lighted and abruptly went dark again due to an electrical
problem.
