Jolly Holiday on The Square
On Saturday, Dec. 17, from 4 to 7 p.m., local residents are invited to celebrate the season at Poncitlán Square. The free event will feature a live band, roaming carolers, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and opportunities to take family photos under a beautiful light display. Children also can bring their letters to Santa and enjoy free classic carnival booths, with games, giveaways, and treats for kids 12 and under, while supplies last.
Participating families can share the holiday spirit by bringing an unwrapped toy or gift card to donate to Palmdale families in need. Donations will be collected at the event to benefit families receiving food assistance through SAVES.

I SIMPLY HATE IT WHEN TEENAGED GANG MEMBERS SHOW UP AT THE PARK…

I noticed signs at the park saying closed 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Evidently closing the parks is an attempt to stop nice Jewish boys from playing their loud hip hop music from their low riders between the hours of 10 and 6.

TOO BAD THE PARKS AREN’T SAFE IN PALMDALE SO THAT FAMILIES COULD ENJOY THEM FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON…
THE GRAFFITI SPRAYING GANG MEMBERS WILL PROBABLY STEAL ALL THE PRETTY LIGHTS…
