Sarta care to towr

Saturday, December 8, the children of
Cassiar were once again treated to a delight-
ful day of Christmas festivities hosted by
Brinco Mining Ltd. and the Cassiar Commune
ity Club.

Using the decor arranged for the Fire-
man’s Ball, the darkened setting of the Rec
Centre created a very magical mood for the
party. Young and old alike were enchanted
by the starry sky and twinkling lights set
perfectly to heighten the anticipation of the
season.

Paul Hann, children’s entertainer from
Vancouver, managed to involve even the
youngest velvet and bowe-tied clad revellers
with his lively sing-a-longs and carols, leading
up to the grand entrance of Santa Claus, Mrs,

by J. Cass

Claus and the elves, to the excited cheers of
one and all.

Presentation of the gifts went smoothly
and, as usual, Santa had made his list and
checked it twice, Smiles, torn Wrapping pap-
er, new toys and giggles abounded as the ane
nouncement of food being served gradually
lured the kids away from their treasures and
on to jello, hotdogs, hamburgers, pizza, ice
cream, Christmas yummies and special sou-
venir gingerbread cookies,

Finally, every partied-out youngster was
greeted on leaving by Mr. Frank Buckley
with yet another sweet gift and wished a
“Merry Christmas“.

Thanks to Brinco and the C,C.C. (and
especially to allsthe behind the scenes elves)
fora truly memorable and wonderful day.

_ Here comes Santa Claus /

I know you!

songs for the gathering,

Ina Pennock sang a lovely solo and performed.a duet
with Gigie McGlynn.

‘Lil Kamlah played the organ during the evening and
Gigie McGlynn played the piano. Each also performed a
solo, *

The most fun of the evening was when the entire
gathering joined together to sing favourite Christmas
carols, “‘A Raven in a Pine Tree” (a variation of the
Twelve Days of Christmas) again seemed to be the most
popular song! :
