America’s Christian Credit Union Snow Day Attracts Over 5,000 for Snow, Santa, Petting Zoo and More
GLENDORA, CA— The perfect weather and Christmas spirit led to over 5,000 people descending upon America’s Christian Credit Union for their 7th Annual Snow Day following the Glendora annual hometown Christmas Parade. The event was held on Saturday, December 8th, 2012 in partnership with local radio station Radio Disney AM 1110.
The event was packed with literally hundreds of families enjoying the snow. Children lined up to take free photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus as well as with the special credit union kids’ account mascot, Buddy Bee. A petting zoo featuring a huge camel attracted many curious visitors. There were pony rides for the more adventurous children. The children built snowmen, had singing contests, and played game after game hosted by the team from Radio Disney – all while enjoying 50 tons of fresh snow. Parents and guests enjoyed shopping at several gift and food vendors selling yummy treats like candy apples, cupcakes, kettle corn and funnel cakes. Lots of hungry people were happy to see the In-N-Out Cookout Trailer serving up burgers as well. Altogether the America’s Christian CU Snow Day continues to be a highlight of the Christmas season for everyone in the community.
“What a fun day! I am amazed at how year after year the community celebrates with us at Snow Day. I am grateful to our staff of 85, who did an amazing job hosting this event. We are blessed with the wonderful turnout, the happiness of the kids who attended, and the support shown from our wonderful sponsors as well as the city of Glendora,” President/CEO Mendell L. Thompson said.
