MEETING SANTA

Taylor Bracken was one of many children who got to meet Santa Claus on Dec. 15 at McDonald's in Libby. Santa's elf assistants were Justin Striplin and Mariah Youso. Santa handed out gift certificates and also used his sleigh to distribute Christmas trees to several local families. Businesses helping Santa this year included Radio Shack, Pamida, Henry's Restaurant, The Antlers Restaurant, A Full Life Agency, Libby Liquidation and Pawn and Smart Bucks.
