School groups and families of children with special needs braved the cold, overcast weather Friday to visit Silveyville Tree Farm in Dixon, where they were treated to hot cider and popcorn, a sleigh ride and a visit from Santa Claus.

It was the farm’s 27th annual holiday celebration for children with disabilities.

The tradition was established in 1991 through the efforts of parents of special needs children.
