CASCADE, Md. — Santa Claus made an early stop at the Fort Ritchie Community Center on Saturday, delighting families during a sold-out breakfast event.
More than 200 tickets were sold for the annual gathering, where guests enjoyed scrambled eggs, bacon, silver dollar pancakes, muffins, coffee and juice cups.
Children shared their holiday wish lists with Santa, while parents joined in the festive morning packed with smiles, photos and the sound of holiday cheer. Limited seating made the event an exclusive experience for families eager to celebrate the season together.
Organizers said each child attending was required to be accompanied by an adult, ensuring a safe and family-friendly environment for this local holiday tradition.
