This year’s “Elf on the GO” is better and brighter than ever! With a highly visible full bus wrap, onlookers will be thrilled to see elves on board the bus happily making toys, wrapping presents and hanging lights. Some elves are even playfully peeking through the windows inviting folks to hop on board where they will find hundreds of twinkling lights, decorations and holiday music. Passengers will also be surprised with random visits from GCTD and Montecito Bank & Trust “elves” bringing cheer, bearing candy canes and posing for “sELFies.” Passengers are encouraged to take pictures, tag #ElfontheGO and post to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for a chance to win goodies and prizes.
