Santa Jim and Jr Optimist members
Saturday, 12-06-08 was opening day at the Santa House and Jim Brown did the honors of playing our man in the Red Suit. Along with him, we had 5 of the Jr Optimist members as well. Kristy and Jeannette were our members who worked the inside of the tent while these young Jr's had a ball working outside. They helped by keeping the kids in order and stood by the curb and danced sang and waved the crowd. Our great moments where when a small child truly believed Meredith was really an elf and Nick was a reindeer. The kids did a great job. I am very pleased some of them were able to get dressed and enjoy themselves. We welcome them anytime.
The following are some pictures we took through out the day. Pam Coon and husband from PC Photography stopped by and took some pictures to give to The Pointe. Thank you Pam, we always love taking pictures. The day started off rough and got better within time. The pole we were to use went out and this is the first time we started the House without power, the first arrivals were good about it and we opened the curtains to let the light in until the Arnold's came to the rescue with their generator. Thank you Dale, Sheila and Danni. Without this it would of been a very disappointing day.

Santa with one of the small children.
This lady came from a different country and had never seen a Santa Claus, the family she was with brought her to visit and see her first Santa Claus, she spoke no English and she was just as excited as any child.
Nick had antlers on and a small child wanted to see our reindeer and we told him that one of them grew legs so he could help with the Santa house and they believed us. These kids were great entertainment for those who came to see us.
