A local family had a magical experience riding with Santa and Mrs. Claus on their sled during the 38th Annual Victorian Street Walk. The memorable ride was donated by the Saratoga Downtown Business Association and Saratoga TODAY. The ride was presented at the Saratoga Hospital Annual Gala in July 2024, with proceeds benefiting the Saratoga Community Health Center. James McPartlon, who won the ride, generously gave it to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, allowing this family to enjoy an unforgettable night. Photo provided.
