A Christmas to Remember!<br />
By David Triana<br />
area musicians provided the stage<br />
entertainment which also included<br />
Reid Soria, The Pyramid Players, Studio<br />
Fuzion’s Hip Hop Kids, Skylar Babin and<br />
Paul, Ronna and Ciara Therrell, as well as<br />

here is nothing more powerful than<br />
being able to do something for another,<br />
especially a person in need, without<br />
expecting anything in return. That is<br />
the key to charity, doing it from the<br />
heart, with passion and because it is the<br />
right thing to do. All children should be<br />
given the opportunity to have a Merry<br />
Christmas!<br />
Tasty food was served to all that attended<br />
and yes, Santa and his elves were also<br />
there after making a grand arrival aboard<br />

from 654 Limo! Additionally, dozens of<br />
special needs families also participated.<br />
Over 1,000 toys and 50 bicycles were<br />
given out throughout the day courtesy<br />
of Toys for Tots and our generous<br />
Emerald Coast community.<br />
