By Dustin Andrews Baxter <strong>Spring</strong>s - <strong>The</strong> Lion- Backers held their first Breakfast with Santa last Saturday at the Cooper House in Baxter <strong>Spring</strong>s. To say the event was a success would be an understatement. <strong>The</strong>y had two different times that children could come meet Santa, create popsickle stick reindeer, color on Christmas themed coloring sheets and eat breakfast. <strong>The</strong> breakfast was served by Santa’s helpers (the Lionbacker’s) and a couple of Santa’s Elves. <strong>The</strong> early session was packed to the point that more tables were brought out. Even after a technical snafu with the circuits being overwhelmed the event went over very well and I’m sure Santa and all of his helpers went home and kicked their feet up after all of that. <strong>The</strong> groups next fundraiser will be Pie Night on January 6th at the Baxter High School Basketball game against <strong>River</strong>ton.
