Santa made his annual visit to the Bethany Depot on Sunday, December 7th, arriving by fire truck, driven by Tom Gregory. Children were excited to give Santa their wish lists, with a few just not sure about the bearded guy in the red suit. Stockings with toys and goodies were handed out by the young ladies of the Bethany Celebration royalty, and pictures were taken by Kathy Doty. Families were treated to cookies and hot chocolate provided by ladies from the Bethany churches. All children were entered in the door prize drawings with an extra entry if items for the Bethany Food Pantry were brought in. 

The BASO committee appreciated all donations that made this a successful event. Special thanks to Phyllis Swinehart for making the stockings, Cindy Sanner for the use of the Depot, Tom Gregory for bringing Santa, and to Santa, Tom Rucker.
