SANTA VISITS GRANBY LIONS CLUB CHILDREN’S PARTY!

It was a cold dreary wintry Saturday, but that was not the atmosphere inside the new “Granby After Dark” Event Center where the Granby Lions had organized a Christmas party for the Newton County Foster children with the hope that Santa would pay them a visit too. Unlike outside the mood inside was warm and full of excitement. After a welcome snack and beverage, the children quickly enjoyed doing several crafts led by the Lions membership and thanks to the “Merry Makers” FCE club, the story time corner, proved very popular too.

After lunch, heaven behold, Santa arrived with a load of presents, answering wishes sent to Santa via the Neosho Methodist Church’s angel tree. The anxious faces quickly changed to big broad smiles and a happy contented group of children finished the event with arms full of presents. That made for another happy, contented group, the Granby Lions Club members and volunteers who finished the event with a “great job well done” feeling ( photo being self-explanatory) and already added it to the next year’s schedule of community activities.
