Santa comes to Community Park Party
Friday, December 23, 2005
As children everywhere count down the days till
Christmas, the kids on Cayman Brac have a number of events to look forward to
leading up to the Big Day.
In line with the tradition, Santa made another appearance
on the Island on Saturday 17 December, this time at West End Community Park (WECP).
With holiday excitement building, the children’s party at
the park is an annual event for the festive time of the year with a true
community spirit, organized by the volunteers of the WECP Committee, and
sponsored by local churches and individuals.
As well as making full use of the park’s swings and
climbing frames, the children played in the bouncy castle and enjoyed free
cotton candy until, as they have come to expect, Santa and Mrs Claus arrived
by truck-drawn sleigh, laden with candy and presents.
All the kids had the opportunity to pose with Santa on
his sleigh for photos, which will later be developed and distributed to
parents and guardians.
Gifts this year were courtesy of Crossroad United
Baptist, Stake Bay Baptist, Fellowship Baptist, Ebenezer Baptist and Hillside
Chapel.
Food and candy were sponsored by Billy’s Supermarket and
L&M Superstore, while Martin Keeley resumed his annual role as photographer
for the park party.
WECP Committee Chairman Mark Tibbetts also thanked Kevin
Foster for helping out with the bouncy castle and cotton candy, and, of
course, Santa and Mrs Claus for taking the time in their busy schedule to
visit the West End Park.
“I’d like to thank all the sponsors and the WECP
Committee members for their help, and to the community for coming out and
supporting this event. We look forward to everyone’s continued support next
year.
“On behalf of the Park Committee, I’d like to wish
everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,” added Mr Tibbetts.
