Following the parade, all the children were treated to cookies from Mrs. Claus while visiting with Santa at the downtown triangle park. Calais was very much alive, thanks to the magical Christmas parade and coupled with the Moonlight Madness event that took place at businesses across town. Many were open late with sales and specials, attracting many customers to their stores to shop locally.

Homemade cook- ies adorned the tables for all to pick and choose to fill their own container. Cookies were sup- plemented by homemade candy including peanut butter balls, needhams, fudge and peanut brittle! Santa even stopped in to pick up his container of cook- ies before he went to the Calais Elementary School to have breakfast with local families. We all know how much Santa loves cookies! The crafters offered a beautiful Christmas tree raffle with a handmade snow globe as second prize. The tree and snow globe were both created by members of the Thursday morning craft and (Photo by Norma Galligan) (Photo by The Propeller Guy in Princeton) coloring guild. The winning tickets were drawn by three and a half-year-old Sparrow Mauser who enjoyed shuffling the tickets and going deep into the container to draw just the right name and it was Wayne Sammer! Wayne graciously left the tree to be enjoyed one more day at St. Anne’s and picked it up after church on Sunday. The second ticket drawn was Art Carter who won the snow globe. St. Anne’s extends their thanks and appreciation to the com- munity for their support of the cookie sale. St. Anne’s wants to remind the community that the Mt. View Chamber Singers will be coming on Friday, December 20th at 7 p.m. for their concert “Carols in the Round.” This is a free performance with a love offering to help the choir to continue to travel and perform (Photo by The Propeller Guy in Princeton) throughout the state.
