Hungry families packed Lakeside Park Pavilion for three sold-out sessions of Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, December 14. Holding this in-person event for the first time since the pandemic, the Fantasy of Lights Committee was joined by the Optimist Club of Kingsville who generously provided the pancakes, sausages, juice and coffee.
“Our club supports the local youth and we really enjoy doing this for the community,” said Optimist Club Secretary Maria Edwards.
Proceeds from the event will be used to add to the Christmas light displays at the park and to help pay for other upcoming Fantasy of Lights events.
Efforts from the Optimists didn’t just end with breakfast as they also ran a Crafts with Santa event later in the day at the park.
