Christmas Party Piqua Post 184 Legion and Auxiliary
held a Children's Christmas Party on
December 13th. While anxiously awaiting
Santa's arrival, the children decorated
cookies, made ornaments, and had a
coloring contest. Santa arrived while the
children sang Jingle Bells, took their
requests and ensured they had all been
good little boys and girls. Each of the
forty-five children received an age
appropriate gift, a candy cane, goody bag
and a stuffed bear before leaving. Miami County veterans tour D.C.
