St. Marys Area youngsters got a start on the holiday season with the annual Advent Crafts Workshop and Santa Breakfast, held December 4 at the Sacred heart Activity Center. The event, which was sponsored by SMACC along with Allstate Insurance/Beimel & Gerg Agency, C/G Electrodes, and St. Marys Pharmacy, featured "Make And Take" craft projects, decorating cookies (compliments of Giant Eagle), and pictures with Santa by Beimel Photographics. Clifford The Big Red Dog stopped by to give out free books (courtesy of DMHC Parents As Teachers Childrens Center), and of course, there was a breakfast with Santa himself!
