Eatonia celebrates an old-fashioned Christmas
By Joan Janzen
Eatonia was a hub of activity on the afternoon of December 14 as the community celebrated an old-fashioned Christmas. The community hall was packed with families as Santa was centre stage listening to each child present their requests. There were games and activities for the children, including crafts, entertainment, a fish pond, face painting, along with snacks for everyone.
Santa bid his farewell and departed in the sleigh along with a sleigh full of children. Afterwards the fun continued as the Eatonia Heritage Board Committee hosted more old-fashioned activities. People could get toasty warm around the fire pit, sip some hot chocolate or hot apple cider and enjoy some tasty treats while snow sculptures were being built.
Meanwhile there was free skating all afternoon at the rink, followed by skating with the Eatonia Huskies before game day began. Overall there was a full day of cheer being offered for the whole family at Eatonia.
