SANFORD - Santa Claus will be at Central Carolina Community College Dec. 5, enjoying the CCCC Foundation's Second Annual Christmas Tree Lighting. He invites everyone to join him there.

The free event takes place from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, in the Lee County Campus plaza, 1105 Kelly Drive, Sanford.

The Southern Lee High School Marching Band, under music director Alexander Alberti, kicks off the festivities as the band parades through campus, accompanying Santa to the plaza.

The jolly old elf will greet children of all ages and be available to take Christmas wishes back to the North Pole. Santa is ready and eager to meet all of the children and have his picture taken with them. The CCCC Foundation will post the photos on its website, www.cccc.edu/foundation, the following day, where they can be downloaded for free.

CCCC trustee Julian Philpott will read the holiday classic, "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." Hot cocoa and cookies prepared by the college's culinary arts students at Harnett Correctional Institution will be served. Charlee Cougar, the college's mascot, will be greeting visitors and sharing his fun antics. Christmas ornaments will be distributed to all the children.

"Following the story, a countdown will begin and the CCCC Christmas tree will be officially lit for the holiday season," said Emily Hare, CCCC director for the Foundation and Development. "Please come out and join us for this special occasion!"
