A pot-luck Christmas social was held at the Dubuc Memorial Hall on Sun., Dec. 19 with over 60 people in attendance. Everyone filled up on the delicious supper dishes and fabulous desserts. After the clean-up, a special guest in red and white made his entry. Santa handed out treat bags and visited with the children. There were a couple "big kids" that also sat on his knee and shared what was on their wish-list. Everyone enjoyed the fun and then Santa was on his way. Soon it was time for about 20 youngsters to take to the stage. Their parents, and the other adults gathered, enjoyed the impromptu concert as preschoolers to highschoolers told jokes, sang songs and did a bit of acting to go with the stories they recited. The older children MC'd and helped organize the younger ones and they did a great job. There were also several donated raffle prizes drawn for throughout the concert. The raffle money and silver collection go to the DRA to help cover some of the evening's expense.
