ITEM EXPLANATION :
This past holiday season, Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park hosted the fifth annual Holiday at the
Rancho special event which has now become an annual tradition for many members of the local
community.
The weather the night of the event was less than favorable, but the rain and cold air did not stop
approximately 1,000 people from attending the event. Highlights of this year's event included an
outdoor screening of The Polar Express, pictures with Santa Claus and the return of Joan
Kindle's annual holiday craft sale which in and of itself has become an annual tradition in
Carlsbad.
Joan Kindle, Volunteer Curator for Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park and long time park
benefactor, started working early last year to create an assortment of handmade crafts, jewelry
and keepsakes. The holiday crafts were a hit at the Holiday at the Rancho, and attendees of all
ages eagerly purchased Joan's creations at very affordable prices. Due to inclement weather the
night of Holiday at the Rancho, two special sales were held the following weekend to make the
crafts available to those unable to attend the Holiday at the Rancho. At the conclusion of the
three sales, $1,021 had been raised to directly benefit the Carrillo Ranch Trust Fund.
The City of Carlsbad Recreation Department wishes to acknowledge Joan Kindle's outstanding
dedication and devotion to Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park, and the continued donation of her
time, talent and financial resources to support the park.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The donation from the sale of Joan Kindle's crafts in the amount of $1,021 was deposited into
the Carrillo Ranch Trust Fund account #149-4504-5651, to be used for future purposes related to
the development, operation, and maintenance of Carrillo Ranch.
