Hundreds of Kids (and Parents Too) Greet Santa

Kids on the Nice List—and a couple on the Naughty List—show up at the lake for annual SAMLARC event with opportunity to get on Santa's good side.

Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived by boat, along with hundreds of Rancho Santa Margarita residents over the weekend at the annual Santa's Workshop event at Lago Santa Margarita Beach Club.

Holiday music, cookie decorating, treats, train rides, and photos with Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, as well as the Clauses, were waiting for boys and girls and parents too.

Santa and his missus arrived as they usually do the SAMLARC-sponsored event, by boat pulled by ducks.
