Santa and child recall holiday wishes at a Christmas celebration
A Christmas scene shows a boy asking Santa to remember his list and Santa joking that he will not forget. The event draws a crowd, with Kay Dicus receiving a kiss on Santa’s knee and townspeople engaging in charity efforts for underprivileged children. The Jaycees run a shopping tour giving each kid a dollar to spend on toys, while letters and donations flow from residents like Mary McGougan Lowden, who sent a dollar to the Empty Stocking Fund accompanied by a photo.
