December 13, 2014 – Forest Park Christmas Party

Forest Park Neighborhood Association held a family Christmas Party at the Delaware County Senior Citizens Center on Saturday December 13th from 3pm-5pm.
Children were required to pre-register and live in the Forest Park Neighborhood to attend the party and receive a toy.

Forest Park took donations of “NEW TOYS” with a maximum price of $10.00 that were given to a child attending the Christmas Party.

Jeanette Maxfield played Christmas music from 2:45 pm-3:15 pm before Wayne Hinkle, Magician, preformed at 3:30pm. Santa Claus arrived at 4:00 pm atop a fire truck. All of the children and their guests had a wonderful time at the party.
