#Fairfield CT–Santa Claus completed his deliveries to South Korea and picked up U.S. Army Specialist Shayne McSwine and brought him to Wonderland at Roseville on Roseville Terrace Christmas Eve to be with his girlfriend Darlene Utz who is from Fairfield.  Her girlfriends were the accomplices in getting Darlene to see the amazing Christmas display.  The crew at Wonderland at Roseville dressed Shayne in a Grinch suit.  Darlene’s friends talked her into posing for a picture with the Grinch.  You can tell in the video she knew something was up when she called Shayne by name removed the mask.

I happened to be there by chance with my family at our annual visit to see the Christmas display.  I was able to capture the reunion with my cellphone!   Thank you for your service Shayne, have a very merry Christmas!
