It’s a rite of the holiday season complete with hot chocolate, Santa Claus and an opportunity to tour The Bridge at Cherry Hill in Johnston during Saturday’s open house.

Executive director Maryann Grace and sales and community relations director Jen Burns were all smiles Saturday, especially when Santa Claus arrived and walked to the dining room to wish countless residents a “very merry Christmas and healthy and happy New Year!”

“We always look forward to this day,” Grace noted. “Our residents really enjoy chatting with all the many different people and of course, Jolly Old Saint Nick.”
