TOWN CRIER FILE PHOTO Local residents, including the horses, dressed up to ring in the holidays at Westwind Barn’s celebration last year.

The Los Altos Hills community has scheduled its holiday celebration and barn -lighting 1-4 p.m. Sunday at Westwind Barn, 27210 Altamont Road. Santa will ride off into the sunset in true Hills style after the barn-lighting ceremony, scheduled for 4 p.m.

Adults can sample home-baked cookies, hot cider and wine tasting with local vintners. Children will have the opportunity to participate in games, craft tables and face-painting activities. Local student choirs will sing traditional carols and holiday music and welcome all to sing along.

Santa is available during the celebration for holiday wish list updates and candy-cane treats. Local Pony Club and 4H students will demonstrate horse-grooming and management skills and answer questions on how to join the programs.

The sponsors advise participants to dress warmly, bring a flashlight and carpool or walk if possible. Parking is limited.
