Breakfast with Santa draws 80 kids
WAYNESBURG – More than 80 local children attended the Greene County Department of Recreation’s “Breakfast with Santa” Dec. 6 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 from Santa and a Santa’s helper hat, as well as a bag of reindeer food to help guide his sleigh team on Christmas Eve.
Other activities included ornament-making and a coloring contest. Contest winners in different age categories received $10 Walmart gift cards. The winners were: ages 1 to 3, Kendall McKay, 3, of Waynesburg; ages 4 to 6, Gabby Russo, 6, of Holbrook; ages 7 to 9, Abigail Riggen, 8, of Waynesburg; and ages 10 and up, Remmey Lohr, 11, of Carmichaels.
The breakfast was prepared and served by Chef Dan Wagner, culinary arts instructor at the Greene County Career & Technology Center.
Helping with the festivities were Lohr, the 2014 Junior Miss Greene County, and Bailey Barnyak of Carmichaels, the 2014 Petite Miss Greene County.
The Department of Recreation would like to thank Santa and Mrs. Claus, everyone who attended, all of the volunteers and the Greene County Commissioners for sponsoring. All supplies were purchased with proceeds from previous Recreation events, such as the annual Dock to Lock 5K Run/Walk held each May.
