Santa in the (Children's) Garden

On a chilly Saturday morning, which happened to be St. Nicholas Day, children gathered to visit with the old toymaker and his wife, Mrs. Claus. After sharing their wish lists and getting a photo with the jolly ole elf, children decorated an iced cookie with jimmies and assorted candies. Some choose the opportunity to sit a spell and color a wood ornament and others a coloring page.

Some of the non-perishable items collected on behalf of Middle Tyger Community Center Food Pantry .

The recently completed Children's Gazebo was festooned with ornaments and lights for the occasion. The decorations will remain up throughout the Christmas season if you want to stop by for a family picture.
