Jackson - Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel has reluctantly cancelled this year’s kids Christmas Pageant. The pageant, featuring performances by local youth, has become a holiday tradition in the area. Unfortunately the Grand Oak Ballroom, where the pageant has been held in recent years, is currently unavailable due to renovations at the hotel. After exploring other options within the community, it has been decided to cancel this year’s show. “We will definitely be back next year,” said Ron Olivero, Vice President of Marketing. “We know the community looks forward to this event and we’re sorry to disappoint the kids, but the Tribe is committed to continuing the tradition, so watch for the Pageant’s return next year.” The free Holiday Hay Rides will continue as usual. The Hay Rides feature a festive ride around the extraordinarily decorated Rancheria (over two million lights) followed by a visit with Santa for the kids and refreshments for everyone. This year the rides will be offered Monday through Thursday, December 7-17, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. beginning and ending at the Jackson Rancheria Fire Department on Dalton Road at the Public Safety Building. Dress warm and bring your camera for this great family photo opportunity. The Rancheria will also be collecting toys for the annual Jackson Rancheria - Amador Sheriff’s Office Christmas Toy Drive. Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel is located at 12222 New York Ranch Road, Jackson, CA 95642. For more information, call 800-822-WINN or visit JacksonCasino.com.
