63rd Annual Desert Foothills Christmas Pageant
Presented by: Kiwanis Club of Carefree
We would like to give special thanks and celebrate the many years of commitment of Choir Director Steve Norris, Narrator Pastor Bob Hutson, and Toby Payne. Andrew Cupo, graduate of CCUSD and now Theatre teacher at Cactus Shadows, is in his 6th year as the Pageant Director. The beautiful luminaria trail is provided by Desert Foothills Key Club, sponsored by Kiwanis. Led by President Regan Anderson, the club consists of students from Cactus Shadows as well as local charter schools & home schools. Thank you for spreading the light!
Local Kiwanis members have long been volunteers for the Pageant. Now the Kiwanis Club of Carefree is the proud sponsor of the Pageant. THANK YOU!
The Desert Foothills Christmas Pageant is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Carefree as a service to the community. If you would like to help with covering the cost of the pageant, there is a donation jar located at the free hot chocolate table. Photos may be taken of the cast after the performance.
In 2001, the Foothills communities thought that they had seen their last Christmas Pageant. For many residents, the loss of the 50 year tradition meant "it just didn't feel like Christmas". As history continues to write new chapters, we welcome the Kiwanis Club of Carefree as the new sponsors. The first 50 years of the Pageant is on display during the holidays at the Cave Creek Museum. With volunteer support from the community, this wonderful tradition has continued and is now in the 63rd year. Enjoy the Season!
