Santa Claus in Town

Grand Island Dispatch, December 9, 2005

The Grand Island Fire Company provided the transportation again this year as Santa Claus came to town. The fire truck made a pass around the block to deliver Santa to the Town Hall, where activities, hot chocolate, and coffee warmed the gang of folks. St. Stephens Choir provided the music both outside and inside. Grand Island Historical Society members assisted town representatives with the refreshments. Mikayla Claus was happy to sit on Santa’s lap and tell him her Christmas wishes. Prior to the activities inside, a memorial tree was planted for Mary Lou Lunsford, a former school bus driver. Her fellow drivers, both current and retired, provided the tree. (photos by Barbi Lare)
