(Des Moines, IA) -- Governor Kim Reynolds and her family will host a Christmas celebration at her Terrace Hill residence in Des Moines this Sunday, December 14.
The event features Santa and live reindeer, food, music and fun. Actors from the Des Moines Community Playhouse will be in the museum, bringing the residence to life as it was 150 year ago.
Molly Franta of Terrace Hill says donations will also be accepted for Iowa National Guard members who are deployed over the holidays.
She says they'll be accepting goods that can be sent in care packages to the troops.
"We'll also have a station at the event where you can write personal notes to include in those care packages," said Franta.
The event will include a reading by the Governor of "No Company for Christmas," a local children's book.
Advanced tickets are required for the event, which need to be purchased online by the end of the day Friday. Two time entries are available at 1:30 pm and at 3:00 pm.
Ticket proceeds fund restoration projects at Terrace Hill.
