Meet & greet
Wearing his summer attire Santa held court with his fans both outside and inside the Rustic Oak Shelter Saturday at Ouabache State Park, as the Friends of the Park sponsored the Christmas in July event. All ages of “youngsters” posed for photos with Santa and little Kingston Howard, at right in Santa’s lap, took a little snooze. (Photos by Barbara Barbieri)
Fun without snow
Above, before visiting with Santa Jeremiah Cordova tried his hand at the Snow Ball Toss with the help of his Dad and volunteer Jenni Klaus. Below, park-themed Christmas ornaments and ceramic items were offered for sale as a fund raiser for the Friends of the Park group.
Snowball toss
A variety of games, using fake snowballs as ammunition, allowed young visitors to practice their throwing skills. Taking careful aim with their snowballs were Percy and Aurora Kite, at left, under the watchful eye of volunteer Jenni Klaus.
