Here Comes You-Know-Who
Once again, we celebrated the holiday season with our annual Childrens' Party. This year, we had live entertainment provided by Laconia High School Band members Ben and Brooke Pearson and Chris Walkley. The buffet featured pizza and chicken fingers. Santa Claus made the long trip from the N. Pole to meet everyone and to chat with the kids and pass out gifts. Assisting Mr. Kringle were Patty Jeanne Calvin and Abbie Pridham.
