December brings a plethora of events with the man in red.

Join Santa and his crew on December 1 for a Santa Fun Run; the race, which starts and ends at the Community Center, begins at 8 a.m. After running the streets with Santa, have breakfast cooked by the Cameron Park Fire Explorers. From 8 a.m. to noon and for a mere $5, enjoy pancakes, bacon, eggs, orange juice, coffee and raffle prizes. Tickets can be purchased at the CSD office beforehand or at the door the day of the event.

Coffee, Tea and Friends – sponsored by Visiting Angels – invites seniors and caregivers to a morning of fun, games and special speakers, while visiting with old and new friends. Come join the fun at 10 a.m. on the second Tuesday of each month. The next gathering (December 11) will feature a holiday party and games.

Visits from Santa are available to residents of Cameron Park. Invite him to visit your home, hand out candy canes and talk with the children about their Christmas wishes. Dates available include December 10-11 or 17-20. There’s limited space, so call soon.

The Annual Santa Parade, hosted by the fire department, is scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, December 14-16 (rain date is the following weekend, December 21-23). The route will be posted at cameronpark.org.
