CLEARFIELD – The Joseph and Elizabeth Shaw Public Library will once again participate in the 2007 annual Jaycee’s Christmas Parade by hosting Santa and Mrs. Claus following the parade. This year the theme Christmas: Past, Present & Future was selected by the Jaycee’s and the library is excited to once again be included in the event.
The parade beings at noon on Dec. 1 and the festivities at the library begin immediately following the parade end. “As a former Jaycee, I know how hard these individuals work to make the parade and the Santa event a success. They should be commended for their efforts,” stated Paula Marshall, library director.
Refreshments, gift bags, a book fair, and photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus will be sponsored by the Jaycee’s. “This is the third year that Santa will be at the library,” stated Marshall, “We are looking forward to outstanding attendance.”
Mark Kercenneck, library maintenance, will be painting the library windows in the theme of the parade, library staff will be decorating, and the Clearfield Area Woman’s Club and Friends of the Library are once again preparing the Christmas trees for the holidays. “I am always so pleased with Mark’s window decorating, the library staff’s willingness to make the library look so festive, and the Christmas trees at the library are always so beautifully done,” stated Marshall, “It really adds to the event sponsored by the Jaycee’s.”
For more information, individuals can call or stop by the library or contact the Clearfield Area Jaycee’s event chair, Danielle Stuart at 814-577-2007.
