The American Legion Post 96 continues their efforts to bring some Christmas cheer to some local kids. For several years now, the veterans, Sons of the Legion and the Ladies’ Auxiliary have been hosting a Children’s Christmas Party.  This year, over 120 kids ages birth to 12 years got presents, along with other food and goodies.  Getting ready for the Christmas Party is a year long process with the Legion hosting fundraisers to purchase the gifts.   But this year some businesses and organizations stepped up to help them out to make sure the kids had a good Christmas.
