 Before Tree Lighting Ceremony

 The tree was missing something, it was dark.  The Heartland Harmonizers Barbershop
 Chorus fills the air with music and a long line is waiting to see Mr.& Mrs. Santa Claus.		 Above - everyone received
this sticker to wear.

 Next on the lower lever in the School room, we heard the Christmas story "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus". Other
 stories were told in the log Cabin and the train cars. Then we viewed the Holiday Miniatures (see right two photos).
