Santa’s Wonderland brings holiday joy to Du Quoin kids
Ivy hosts two weeks of Yuletide matinees for about 1,500 children from nearby towns. The first year features trains, race cars, dancing Santa, teddy bears and more with free Saturday matinees in December and on Christmas Eve. Canned goods aid local food pantries though not required. A bike gifted to a boy spurred another anonymous donor to fund a new bike for him.
