Santa and the Cinema

A youngster enjoys a candy cane while Santa Claus sits nearby as he listens to children's Christmas wishes during the Second Annual Santa and the Cinema event on Saturday. Hosted by the city parks and recreation department, Mountain Home Elks Lodge and Take One Cinema, the free event offered a holiday experience centering on old-fashioned family values and true holiday spirit, according to project chair Cristena Ford. Families had the opportunity to catch one of four films aired that day while enjoying free holiday refreshments.
