The Ranch

Create magic this season at Believe ✨
Growing up with four sisters probably drained my parents on a daily basis: emotionally, physically, and even financially.

We didn't get everything we asked for. We wore hand-me-downs, and got two pairs of shoes every school year. One for everyday school and a pair of gym shoes.

But when it came to Christmas, Mom and Dad made sure it was magical.

From Gram’s Christmas Eve Polish feast, to presents straight out of the pages of the Sears Wishbook, and all the way through to Christmas morning, when Santa arrived overnight and brought us every Fisher-Price toy and Barbie doll, car, home and outfit there was.

It wasn't just the gifts that made that time of year the very best. It was being with my whole family: aunts, uncles, Gram and my cousins. The joking, the laughing, playing games with our new haul, and just being together. That's what mattered most, then and now.

This year I'm putting all those feelings into a single Christmas event and sharing it with you, so your family can create the memories your kids will still love, even 50 years later.

Your Visit to Believe · Sunday, November 8 · The Ranch in Frankfort
<ul><li>Santa's Wonderland: Before meeting Santa, the kids craft, shop and sip hot chocolate.</li></ul>

<ul><li>The Stone Fireplace: A cozy stone fireplace, decked out for the holidays, sets the scene for your family portraits.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Santa's Front Porch: In the barn, on a fully decorated country front porch, the kids meet the BEST Santa: authentic, jolly and a true professional. Every moment is captured for the sweetest portraits.</li></ul>

<ul><li>The Ranch "Reindeer": We finish with a visit to the Ranch's gentle donkeys, wearing their antlers.</li></ul>

You get all the magic of the season, plus portraits you'll revisit and treasure every single year at Christmastime.

Make this year a new tradition, and create unforgettable memories at Believe — A Santa Experience on November 8.

We can't wait to help your family celebrate the magic of Believe.

Believe,
