It was Christmas at ReStore on Friday evening with free gifts, free wrapping, and Santa.
Many children were there to choose from a slew of gifts donated to ReStore. Many "elves" helped wrap the presents. Santa heard wishes from the kids.  Cookies and punch were available.

Many youngsters (and adults, too) left with smiles on their faces. Christmas will be happier this year thanks to the givers and staff at ReStore.

Cash Alger, 4, son of Nick and Jennifer Alger, had his wishlist ready for Santa as did many other children when the Ada Public Library hosted Ole St. Nick at Merry on Main on Monday.

By the time the Jolly Old Man took his seat, the line of children and parents reached from the front door to the back wall of the library. Santa did a lot of listening that evening. Over 200 youth visited the library.

Merry on Main, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, drew a large crowd downtown on a pleasant December evening with people viewing the window displays, hearing carolers, enjoying treats, and shopping.
