It was a celebration of Christmas in July in Springside Saturday with a variety of activities, and even a warm weather visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.
The event included a chili hotdog lunch, games and crafts for the youngsters, a craft sale for the adults, and the visit by the big man and his Mrs. who arrived in style on a fire truck.
The day was hosted by the Springside Resource Centre.
