Skiers dressed as Santa Claus ski Sunday at the Sunday River ski resort in Newry. The annual Santa Sunday event raises money for local charities.
With beards and stocking caps flapping, some 300 red-suited Santas were lively and quick at the foggy Sunday River ski resort in western Maine as they took a break from the holiday hustle and bustle. The annual event has been held for more than 20 years, except for once during the pandemic. The skiing Santas participate in full Kringle garb, including, of course, a white beard and red hat. This year’s event raised $8,000 for The River Fund Maine, an education charity, Sunday River representatives said.
