The party was free and everyone was welcome. It featured caroling, Christmas tree decorating by the children, a raffle, music, and children’s ornament making. Free cookies and hot chocolate were being served despite the unseasonably warm weather that day. Beautiful hats and gloves were available on a table for giveaway.
Dillion Shash, Vice President of the Amphitheater Committee who was in charge of the event said, “I thought it would be nice to do something for the kids, so we organized this.”
The festivities concluded with the arrival of Santa (Gary Painter). When asked if he liked being Santa, he replied, “I better, I’ve been doing this for 45 years. I got my first start at the Salvation Army.”
The Christmas in the Park was the last event by the Amphitheater Committee for the year; they will resume activities in the summer and are already finalizing a schedule of events and sponsors for next year. The Committee thanks everyone who made the year 2015 a success for them. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/MonessenAmphitheater.
