Posing with Santa and Mrs. Claus are Linda Salter, who organized the event and Renee Wetherhold, both with the Kiwanis organization.

The Emmaus High School Key Club volunteers to guide the cars in and around during the event. Guests would drive to the far end of the parking lot where they were greeted and gave their name. Volunteers called Santa's helper to let them know who was coming so they could be ready for them when they drove up.
