"Breakfast with Santa" Provided Family Fun and Charitable Contributions
Eastern Cheerleaders Emily Walker, Kaitlyn Martin, Lea Byers
and Lexi Byers serve pancake syrup and beverages.
The annual “Breakfast With Santa” event at Brad Howell Ford brought out over 600 people on Dec. 3 for the traditional features. Breakfast was served by members of the Greentown Volunteer Fire Co. (Fire Dept/EMS). About 285 photos were taken with Santa. Children also entered a drawing for numerous gifts. Christmas music was provided on the keyboard by Kim Robertson and Lynn Wilson. A silent auction of Christmas wreaths resulted in about $1,370 for the Fire Co., which will be donated to various non-profit organizations. Over $1,100 was collected in a donation box for the Fire Co. Almost a pick-up load of donated food was given to the Greentown Lions for their Christmas baskets. Members of Eastern High School S.A.D.D. organization and cheer leaders helped with the serving line and sign-ups for drawings.
The event is sponsored by Greentown Volunteer Fire Co. (EMS) and Brad Howell Ford.
