On the last day of school before the Winter Break, Santa and Mrs. Claus could be found in various places throughout the area, even at South Ripley Elementary School. As the children rounded the corner to enter school there they were! We have on good authority the Clauses know Barry and Cindy Lauber of Holton.

Marian and Ray Tucker. 93, of Holton were happy to do their part at the Dabney Baptist Church in the program Sunday, December 22, being Mary and Joseph with Baby Jesus.

Mrs. Claus, the elves and Santa, were on hand to greet and interact with customers at Crossroads Restaurant in Versailles on US 50 last week. They enjoyed welcoming everyone to the event. The restaurant offers a variety of great home cooked meals, along with appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and desserts on a daily basis. Greg and Kim Evans celebrated 25 years this December.
