It was a wonderful treat to visit with Santa and his Elves this holiday season. Thanks again to the staff of Castle in the Air (1805 Fourth Street) for designing such a uniquely magical Wonderland. We are happy to report that over 900 guests visited Santa on Fourth Street! Guided by tradition, the children brought their wish lists and drawings for Santa. Not surprisingly, most children were very up do date with their knowledge of electronics, sometimes a bit more up to speed than Santa! This season kids were hoping for IPODS, pets, musical instuments, sports cars and art supplies. We hope their wishes came true! Let's not forget to mention the adults that popped in to give Santa a hug. Cameras were flashing for pictures with young and old alike. While chatting with Santa and his Elves was free, donations were accepted on behalf of B.O.S.S. (Building Opportunities for Self Sufficiency). This organization provides many services to the local community including the Harrison House shelter as well as their Children's Learning Center. We collected books on behalf of the young people at the center as well as warm socks with toiletries for those needy families in the shelter. DONATIONS
