Five lucky homes were visited by Santa and his Elves courtesy of the ‘affiliate’ program with Gaetti Sports Academy and Castle Ridge in Centralia.
The four families in Centralia and one in Mt. Vernon were selected as the five lucky winners were selected in a drawing of those sending Letters to Santa to receive cookies delivered to their doorstep from Santa and his Elves.
Castle Ridge spokesperson Melissa Roach says spreading a little joy during the holiday season was their goal and seeing their faces they felt like they were able to achieve that. She says they really look forward to doing more of this type of thing when the doors are open at Castle Ridge. Roach says spreading magic and helping create memories is one of the things that makes what they do worthwhile and fun.
Gaetti Sports Academy at Castle Ridge is part of a multiphase destination development being built in Centralia. The first phase, the 18,000 square feet Gaetti Sports Academy opened in June. The second phase, currently being completed, is the 32,000 square feet Castle with 3 restaurants and The Grand Hall and Conference Center. Next up on the horizon for the Meadow Woods development on the grounds of the former Meadow Woods Country Club are multiple outdoor ceremony areas, a marina, and lakefront cottages and lodges.
