On Dec. 17, Sanford Elks Lodge #1241 hosted its second annual Christmas for Kids event. The event was free to families and featured various craft stations, cookie decorating, a hot cocoa bar, a pizza lunch, and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. All children and families were able to get their picture taken with Santa, who also had a gift for each of the kids. Photos taken from the event as well as the photos with Santa were available to the families at no cost through the lodge website. The event was a great success and surpassed last year’s event with more than 100 kids and more than 300 people total in attendance.
