Around the World with Santa: A Heartwarming Celebration full of Community
On Sunday, December 8th, the Hernando Beach community came together for a festive and unforgettable event—Around the World with Santa! Held at Dennis Realty’s Hernando Beach office at 3263 Shoal Line Blvd, this magical holiday gathering welcomed 125 attendees for an afternoon full of joy, fun, and holiday cheer. The event was a true testament to the spirit of community, bringing families together to enjoy a wide range of activities, delicious treats from all over the world, and, of course, a special visit from Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus themselves. It was the perfect way to celebrate the season and make lasting memories with loved ones.
A Huge Thank You to Our Event Planners and Volunteers
This event wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible dedication and hard work of the event planners and volunteers who made it all come together seamlessly. A heartfelt thank you to Amy Maxson, Paul Sturdgess-Hayes, Nicole Parker, Christina Green, and Karla Heffernan Voss for their outstanding efforts in organizing, setting up, and running the event. Their creativity, teamwork, and passion helped transform the day into a magical experience from all over the world!
A Special Thank You to Our Amazing Vendors
We’d also like to extend our gratitude to the fantastic vendors who joined us in making the event extra special:

- Festive Trunks & Costumes: The combination of global-themed trunks, festive décor, and candy from all around the world left a desirable festive feeling from any part of the world!
