STILLMAN VALLEY — The Village of Stillman Valley hosted its annual Cardinal Christmas on Sunday, Dec. 1 from 4-7 p.m.
Mr. and Mrs. Santa arrived by fire truck to Ladders of Learning at 4 p.m. Children could get photos taken with Santa and tell him what they would like for Christmas. The tree lighting took place at 5 p.m. beside Stillman Bank. Be sure and drive by all the beautiful trees that will remain decorated thru the end of the year. Stillman Lions served cookies and cocoa at the bank garage. Coyote 102.3 was broadcasting live from The Royal Blue. A craft show took place at Meridian Jr. High from 3-7 p.m. where many Christmas gift items could be purchased. Snow Princess and Spider were greeting children at the Jr. High. You could find Grinch around town. New this year was Dancing Dads with a great performance to Jingle Bell Rock. You could take a horse drawn carriage ride or a hay wagon ride around town. Fresh cider donuts and hot cider were served at the Brick Center while Carolers sang Christmas songs. A live Nativity was outside. Fire pits with S'mores could be found by Ladders of Learning. Grace Fellowship handed out popcorn and painted faces. Girls could get nails painted and hair tinsel at Tease. Grilled pork chops and hot dogs were available beside the Wooden Nickel. There was a punch card entered for a drawing to an Ice Hog game and the winner was Jill Wheelock. It was great to see so many folks that braved the frigid temperatures to make this event a success. Planning for next year will start in the spring. Anyone interested in serving on the committee should contact Yvonne at the Village Hall and she will let you know when the next meeting will be held.
