“We’re thrilled that Santa and Mrs. Claus could take time out of their busy December schedule to stop by Beverly Farm to participate in our parade,” said Sandra Ferris, Interim Executive Director. “It was a fun kickoff to Christmas week. The holiday parade made for an enjoyable afternoon for our residents and staff alike, as well as the riders and horses from our Equestrian Center who had the privilege of accompanying our two guests of honor on their float along our parade route visiting all the homes on our campus.”

The next time Santa visits Godfrey, he will be delivering gifts on Christmas Eve to everyone on his “nice” list. With any luck that will include most (if not all) the members of the Beverly Farm extended family. Happy Holidays!
