It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Laughter, joy, and excitement fill the air. And the 2010 Christmas Celebration exhibited this joy. The Haines Chamber of Commerce wishes to thank all for making this Community Christmas Celebration feel like a small-town family atmosphere! Particular thanks to the Sheldon Museum and Visitor’s Center for holding open houses; the Visitor Center for sponsoring the Cookie and Candy Contest; Mrs. Claus for taking time to read stories to our children; Walter Clayton for taking the Santa pictures; a special thanks to the HVFD, HPD, State Trooper, Annette Smith and her “Snow Dragon” crew for their participation in the parade; Lee Heinmiller for organizing the parade lineup; Howsers IGA Supermarket for donating candy for Santa and to all those who judged, decorated, shared train sets, and shopped at home. And a hearty thanks to Santa for making the day so special for our little ones and parents, too.
