Deck The Stalls, Santa Hay Ride To Benefit Molino Ranch Tonight

December 4, 2009

Santa will make an early appearance in Escambia County for the seventh consecutive year at the much anticipated Santa Hay Ride. The event, which begins tonight at the Escambia County Equestrian Center, benefits a Molino ranch.

This winter wonderland will be fun for children of all ages. Ride and sing on the hayride, enjoy seasonal, fun activities, such as inflatable “moon walks,” make holiday decorations, and have a chance to give Santa your wish list all at no charge. Bring your own camera for photos with Santa.

Kids can enjoy a holiday horse ride for a $5 donation to the Leaning Post Ranch, a Molino charity whose mission is to provide equine assisted activities and therapeutic riding to individuals with disabilities and at-risk youth in Northwest Florida. This family friendly event provides a great opportunity to make holiday memories that will last a lifetime. Come enjoy the festive music, cheer and holiday refreshments.

This is a season of giving, so this holiday event also serves as an official drop-off site for the Toys for Tots program sponsored by the Marine Corps League Detachment 066. Patrons are also encouraged to drop off broken or old cellular telephones, which will be exchanged for free minutes for overseas troops to call home for the holidays.

The Escambia County Equestrian Center is located at 7750 Mobile Highway. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and admission is free.
