Mission San Luis Rey Holiday Cards Available
 Award-winning photographer, Kurt Lightfoot, donates his time and talent to capture many of the beautiful images of the Mission. Now, personalized note cards displaying his photography are offered for sale at the Mission Gift Shop. One of his images was also selected as the first in a series of Mission holiday cards. Each year, a new photograph will be chosen to grace the front of the card. So, if you’re thinking of purchasing your holiday cards, stop by the Mission San Luis Rey Gift Shop. All proceeds benefit the restoration and conservation of Mission San Luis Rey. The Gift Shop is another treasure awaiting visitors to the national historic landmark. Contact Gift Shop Manager Cornelia Crandall at (760) 757-3651, ext. 117 for details.
Kurt will be available to sign the cards at the Mission’s holiday event, Noche Buena (Taste of the Mission) on Thursday, December 4. He will also have other prints available for purchase.
