Normally quiet library bursts with sounds of Christmas cheer

The High Prairie Municipal Library hosted its annual Children’s Christmas Party on Nov. 24 which featured a special visit by Santa Claus. The party attracted 110 people. Children and families enjoyed a variety of games and activities, such as the oven mitt game where children try to open a gift while wearing oven mitts, Christmas Bingo and plenty of crafts, colouring and cookies and juice. Santa also handed out gifts to children of all ages.
