Residents are invited to saddle up for a good time and join Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman and Ward 6 Councilman Steven D. Ross as they bring Santa on horseback to the annual Cowboy Christmas at Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs, 9200 Tule Springs Road, on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Party like a cowboy and enjoy the free fun including: a jump house, petting zoo, hay rides, face painting, balloon artists, photos with Santa, games and more. The Las Vegas Farmers’ Market will offer fresh regional produce and other goodies for sale. Centennial, Shadow Ridge, Arbor View, Saville, Escobedo and Lied choirs will entertain with holiday songs. Festivities will include a historic ranch house dedication.
Share the holiday spirit by helping others who are in need. The U.S. Marines will be collecting toys for the Toys for Tots drive. The Jude 22 food pantry will be collecting non-perishable food items for seniors in need. Residents are also invited to donate old cellular phones for the Cell Phones for Soldiers Program.
“Many in our community are struggling this season,” Councilman Ross said. “This event is a good opportunity to share the holiday spirit with your neighbors in a carefree, fun atmosphere.”
The city of Las Vegas has many events and facilities that offer a wide range of activities for residents to enjoy. For more information, visit the city Web site at www.lasvegasnevada.gov.
