O Tannenbaum Holiday Showcase
Kids Can Call Santa 625-HOHO Although he is very busy this time of year, the Apalachin Lions Club has persuaded Santa Claus to take phone calls for three nights in early December. Santa has been happy to do this for the children in the area for many years and is looking forward to again talking to his many young friends so he will know what they want for Christmas. To talk to Santa Claus, call 625-HOHO (625-4646) between 6:00 and 8:00 pm on December 3, 4, or 5.
