Costa Mesa Snoopy House
This Just In From Costa Mesa City Hall... YOU Can Be Part of a Costa Mesa Snoopy Christmas Tradition!
"COSTA MESA, CALIF.—The Jordan family—whose Eastside home was the site of the famous Snoopy House Christmas display for more than four decades—has made a Santa wish list for items that will make the event’s 45th year at its new City Hall location the best ever. Earlier this month, the future of the beloved Southern California tradition was in jeopardy after the Jordans’ property had been foreclosed upon. The City of Costa Mesa agreed on this week to allow the display to be put on the City Hall lawn and is helping in a variety of areas in order to get the Snoopy House open by 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The display will be turned on nightly from 5 to 10 p.m. through New Year’s Eve. Here is the Jordans’ wish list that they hope will be fulfilled by some of Santa’s helpers in the community.
- Volunteers to set up the display (9 a.m. Saturday, 10 a.m. Sunday and 9 a.m. Monday) and to help during the event’s 19-night run (you can even work as an elf).
- 10 cases of hot apple cider concentrate.
- 5 cases of 6-ounce Styrofoam cups.
- 1 case each of red, green and blue tinsel.
- 5 boxes of 4x6 photo paper.
- 4,000 candy cases.
- 100 gallons of water
- 10x10 tent with four sides
- Financial donations for color printer ink, artificial snow, and other items.
Those interested in volunteering or contributing a needed item or money can contact City staff member Sylvia Chalmers at (714) 754-5099 or e-mail her here."
