ITEM EXPLANATION :
The citizens of Carlsbad celebrate many rich holiday traditions. One tradition not to be missed
each year is Joan Kindle's annual craft sale at the Holiday at the Rancho.
The atmosphere at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park the night of the event was full of joy and
delight as approximately 2,200 residents gathered to celebrate the season. Attendees were
greeted by falling snowflakes as they entered into a whimsical winter wonderland inspired by Dr.
Seuss. Highlights of the event included the annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, pictures
with the Grinch and the return of Joan Kindle's holiday craft sale.
Joan Kindle, Volunteer Curator for Leo Carrillo Ranch Park and long time park benefactor,
started working early last year to create a wide assortment of handmade crafts, jewelry and
keepsakes. The holiday crafts were once again a big hit at the Holiday at the Rancho event held
on December 6, 2008, and attendees of all ages eagerly purchased Joan's unique creations. At
the conclusion of the Holiday at the Rancho sale, $596 had been raised to directly benefit the
Carrillo Ranch Fund.
The City of Carlsbad Recreation Department wishes to acknowledge Joan Kindle for her
outstanding dedication and devotion to Leo Carrillo Ranch, 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 $596 will be deposited into
the Carrillo Ranch Fund account #149-4504-5651, to be used for future purposes related to the
development, operation, and maintenance of Carrillo Ranch.
