Williston is Winter Wonderland - Let It Snow

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Like it or not, winter has officially arrived.

With the recent addition of 7 inches of snow that brings the total to more than 30 inches to date.

Now folks, that’s a lot of snow.

It sure makes things interesting for a lot of people.

No doubt some are very happy, including those who have snowblowers and snow boots to sell.

While there’s not much we can do about the weather, the best thing is to sit back and enjoy.

At least you don’t have to worry about being bit by a mosquito.

The folks that like the outdoors and those type of activities are excited.

For them we say get out and enjoy.

Santa returns home filled with a year of memories

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

Hey folks….Santa survived yet another year.

After 11 seasons at the EastGate Mall in Cincinnati, Ohio, this Santa is glad the season has come to a rest.

One thing about it, the season never really ends for the Jolly Old Elf.

We’ll share some of those memories and pass along some details.

Stay tuned.

Santa is Kept Very Busy Listening to all the Wishes

Monday, December 8th, 2008

With the Night Before Christmas fast approaching Santa is kept busy these days trying to squeeze in a visit from all of the children in preparation for that big day.

Requests are fast and furious as the Jolly Old Elf in the big red suit tends to his duty and listens to wants from bunkbeds to baked beans.

Yes my friends, even baked beans for a two-year old, at least according to her four-year old sister.

Hey, whatever makes you happy.

One thing Santa has learned to date is the youth of today are in dire need of a good hero.

A youngster reported his favorite cowboy was Marshall Dillon.

That thought turned a light bulb on, noting the youth of today don’t have the opportunity to cheer for the good guys in the white hats.

How about the days of Sky King, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Gene Autry and the likes of Fury and Rin Tin Tin?

Today they are left only with jocks who for the most part tend to be jerks, along with cartoon characters on Saturday mornings.

Real life is needed to provide a good standard to live up to.

Ho Ho Ho !!!!!

Thanksgiving signals beginning of a busy period

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

With Thanksgiving behind us that can only signal the beginning of a busy Holiday season.

We sure hope you all enjoyed a blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends.

This is the time of year to count our blessings and at the same time take it a step further and share with others.

While the Christmas season is in the wings the time now becomes frantic as everyone scrambles to get things done.

We encourage throughout this time to be always thankful for the great country we live in.

We’re presently filling the big green chair filling the role as the “Big Guy” and that will take a majority of our time.

From time to time we hope to share some of those moments.

Until then, enjoy!
