Story and photos by Patricia Beech –

Members of the Peebles Lions Club concluded their holiday season agenda Saturday, Dec. 18 by hosting a “Pancakes with Santa” community  breakfast.
“Our club stays very busy through November and December each year,”  said Marie Palmer, President of the Lions Club, “We hold a food drive, a chili cook off, and a craft show leading up to the Christmas season  and our Pancakes with Santa breakfast.”
Gary Hall, a professional Santa Claus from Washington Courthouse, was  present to take Christmas requests and pose in photos with visiting  children.
Palmer said the club is in the process of creating their 2017 agenda  of events.

Maybe not everyone is that excited about seeing Santa as twins Slade and Oliver Murray don’t seem too enthused about meeting the big guy (Gary Hall).
