Santa has busy day at fairgrounds
WAYNESBURG – More than 125 local children attended the Greene County Department of Recreation’s “Breakfast with Santa” from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday at the Greene County Fairgrounds.
Children in attendance had the opportunity to sit with Santa Claus, discuss their Christmas lists with him and have their pictures taken. Each child also received a special treat and Santa’s helper hat, as well as a bag of reindeer food to help guide Santa’s sleigh team. Other activities included ornament-making and a coloring contest. Contest winners in different age categories received Walmart gift cards. The breakfast was prepared and served by Chef Dan Wagner, culinary arts instructor at the Greene County Career and Technology Center.
Helping with the festivities were 2013 Miss Rain Day Stephanie Mitchell and several 2013 Miss Greene County queens, including Petite Miss Annalise Willis, Junior Miss Joelle Pahanish and Teen Miss Amanda Frampton, who played Christmas tunes on her violin during breakfast.
The Department of Recreation would like to thank Santa and Mrs. Claus, everyone who attended and all volunteers and sponsors, including the Greene County commissioners, Milliken & Throckmorton Funeral Home Inc., Rhodes & Hammers Printing Inc. and Washington Health System Waynesburg Family Medicine.
