“Full of good cheer and always ready for a photo, Santa will visit us each Saturday and Sunday until Christmas as part of the resort’s “Lakeside Holiday Traditions” event and activity series,” said Andre’ D’Amour, resort general manager. “We invite people to celebrate this special time of the year with family or loved-ones in the cozy, amenity-filled confines of Stonewall Resort.”
