The Casements Guild rolled out the red carpet for the Ormond Beach community as it celebrated the start of its 46th annual Christmas Gala on Friday, Dec. 6.
The chilly evening began with the entrance of the Snow Queen, John D. Rockefeller, Santa and Mrs. Claus, who arrived on a train just in time to light the Christmas lights at the historic home at 25 Riverside Drive, as well as the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Gardens. The night's festivities included train rides, music by The Moonlighters, food trucks, a cookie decorating station, hot cocoa and face painting.
Inside The Casements, attendees could peruse the dozen of decorated trees inside the gallery, as well as enjoy baked goods from the Guild's gourmet shop.
The gala remains free and open to the public on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 7-8, from 12-5 p.m. There will be entertainment, visits with Santa and craft sales.
