Santa Claus made a stop at the Granger Community Center Saturday morning in order to help raise funds for the Granger Fire and Rescue Department.
At the foot of Santa’s throne and forming a kind of royal court around him were about a dozen vendors of precious gifts, while a line of children and parents patiently waiting to chat with St. Nick formed down the center of the community center.
Nearby were Granger Fire and Rescue volunteers and supporters, cooking pancakes and sausages and offering donuts and coffee and juice. The rain-into-snow weather did not deter a good-sized turnout.
