Ralston Grange slates annual Christmas Party for Dec. 6

The Ralston Grange’s annual Community Christmas Party will be held on Sunday, Dec. 6, at their hall in Ralston.

This will be the 85th year that the Grange has sponsored this traditional community event, open to all. Last year’s party saw 115 people attending, with over 30 children, including six sets of twins, able to give their Christmas wish list to Santa in person.

The evening begins with a potluck at 5:30 p.m., with ham provided by the Grange, followed by the program. The program consists of entertainment provided by those attending, with recitations, music, dance, and instrumental numbers, or anything else the children, adults, or families would like to perform.

A special visit from Santa concludes the evening, with parents asked to provide a small, wrapped gift for each of their children for Santa to give to them that evening.

Decorating of the hall for the party will take place on Saturday, Dec. 5, beginning at 8:30 a.m. A breakfast of pancakes, sausage, fruit and juice will be provided to all volunteers. The Grange provides all decorations but help is needed in setting up for the potluck and “hanging the greens”.
