CLAYPOOL — Santa heard the wishes of a packed schoolhouse of children on Saturday Dec. 9, at the third annual Cookies with Santa event held by The Echoes of the Past vintage farm tool club.

Children from one week old to some fun-loving adults took turns talking with Santa and telling him their greatest Christmas wishes. Mrs. Claus assisted Santa with handing out gifts and candy canes to the kids.

Cookies and cocoa were served throughout the event.

Children could also make a variety of crafts to take home to decorate their Christmas tree. Sam Hedington and Andrea Hedington manned the sleigh, and Russel Rose let the club use the sleigh for the event.

The event was held at the Old School House at the corner of County Farm Road and CR 700S, Claypool.

Wayne and Beth Landis find you are never too old to visit with Santa.

The Cookies with Santa event drew a crowd of kids and adults to enjoy cookies, cocoa, candy canes, gifts and sleigh rides.
