As part of the Winter Market festivities on Dec. 6 and 7, Mark King partnered with the Town of St. Marys to welcome locals to the King Family Christmas House.
The town provided a shuttle from the Flats to King’s house where he was hosting Santa and the Kinsmen Club. Local kids had the opportunity to drop off their letters to Santa and avoid the postal strike.
The St. Marys Kinsmen, of which King is a member, was also there collecting food and toy donations while handing out warm apple cider and candy canes to all who attended.
At the end of the weekend, the King Family Christmas House saw over 300 visitors who stopped in to see Santa, enjoyed the light display and mad a donations that will benefit the local Salvation Army and food bank.
Approximately 75 letters to Santa are now being read by the big man and they will be distributed back to the community this week.
They young lad in the chair beside Santa is Carter VanWieren and the lady in the other photo is Sandy MacPherson.
