First National Bank at River Ranch is holding its 5th annual Christmas celebration, Jingle Bell Jubilee, throughout the day. Events include free pictures with Santa, a Toys for Tots drop off, Santa’s Christmas Parade and children’s activities at MainStreet in River Ranch.
The day begins with free Santa pictures from 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. at FNB along with refreshments sponsored by Sonic. Those in attendance can also support the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves by dropping off new, unwrapped toys at the bank (toys will be accepted through Dec. 14). At 5:30 p.m. Santa and his friends will parade through River Ranch in a horse drawn carriage; the fun ends at MainStreet with Christmas caroling and activities, along with extended shopping hours. River Ranch Development and Shop River Ranch merchants joined FNB in sponsoring the evening’s events.
