On December 20th, Steet Ponte Ford proudly hosted our inaugural Photos with the Grinch event, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how the day turned out. What began as a brand-new idea quickly became an unforgettable community celebration, welcoming hundreds of families into our showroom to kick off the school holiday break in the most fun way possible.
Families enjoyed free professional photos with the Grinch, captured by Josh Perez of Pixel Peek Photography, giving everyone a chance to take home a memorable keepsake from the day. The holiday fun didn’t stop there! Guests were treated to a hot cocoa and treats station, a kids’ craft area run by a cheerful “Mrs. Grinch,” and a playful “Whoville Truck” checklist activity. This activity had kids helping prepare the ultimate Whoville ride for the holidays, a stunning Ford Maverick displayed in our showroom.
A huge part of what made this event so special was the atmosphere. All of the festive decorations throughout the dealership were handmade by our Office Manager, Kathy Williams, who also planned the entire event from start to finish. Her creativity and attention to detail transformed our showroom into a Whoville-inspired holiday space and truly brought the event to life.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make our first Photos with the Grinch event such a success. Seeing so many families laughing, creating memories, and enjoying the holiday spirit made the day even more meaningful for our team.
Thank you for helping us make this inaugural event one to remember. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to bring even more festive fun to the community in the years ahead! 🎄💚
