Ray Beesley, who visits with more than 40,000 children per year, is a legend in northern New Jersey. Beginning in the 1970s, Beesley’s portrayal of Santa Claus was a hit with both the many charitable organizations he volunteers for and at the Wayne Towne Shopping Center where Beesley became a mainstay at the mall during his 18-year run. He now offers the same unique holiday experience at the Ice Caverns in Fairfield, New Jersey, where he provides thousands of families with a photo memento of the experience. While the spirit of Santa remains the same as it did when Beesley started out, he’s upgraded to DNP’s DS80 dye-sublimation photo printer, which he relies on to provide high quality printed images. There is nothing more rewarding than putting a smile on a child’s face. Wayne Towne
