Did you have breakfast with Santa at The Inn on Saturday?

It was a sell out

By Monty Siekerman
Santa has his hands full and is happy to hear the Christmas wishes of Myah, 6, Bennett, 3, and Corbin, 7 months, at The Inn on Saturday.

They are the children of Justin and Jessica Keckler of Harrod. Kids not only had an opportunity to recite what they want for Christmas (parents, are you listening and taking notes) but also received a present and mighty fine breakfast from the buffet.

Parents received a photo of their child with Santa that was put into a magnetic frame, a perfect remembrance of the event. Asked how many attended, Inn General Manager Tallene Eichelberger said, "We always sell out."
