The American Scandinavian Foundation of Santa Barbara hosted its annual Christmas dinner and auction, gathering a sold-out crowd to raise funds for student scholarships.
The evening’s highlight was the St. Lucia procession, featuring Carpinteria resident Ella Bailey as St. Lucia.
Bailey was joined by several other children participants, all wearing white robes and sparkling crowns.
Music by Bob and Marilyn, known as the Invocations, enhanced the festive atmosphere.
“Thank you to all who attended and supported this wonderful cause. Your contributions helped create a memorable evening for future scholars,” American Scandinavian Foundation of Santa Barbara said.
