Santa made a surprise appearance at the North Oak Branch. Children, both young and old, enjoyed a story, a craft, and a chance to sit on Santa's lap! Jim "Two Crows" Wallen, aka Santa presented A Visit with Santa on December 16th at 10:30 AM. He was a hit as he told the story of how Santa got his reindeer.
