“ The first year , a girl wanted to ride a unicorn . Well , I know everybody , and everybody knows me , just about , so I made that happen ,” said Calabrese . “ There was a place in Denton where we took the little girl … This lady had a horse with a horn put on it like a unicorn , dressed it up like a unicorn , made her dream come true .”
Sometimes the response goes even better than expected , like when a young girl said she wanted a goat . “ I just put it out there ,” said
Calabrese . “ I think she ended up getting three goats .”
In addition to all of this , Calabrese finds other ways to help in the community . Whether its getting a local school ’ s special needs class hooked up with a refrigerator , bringing some food to someone struggling , helping out with the group Random Acts of Kindness , or even dressing up like an elf , wherever or whatever the need is , Calabrese will be there , ready to help .
