The Burton bunch decided they wanted to set up a booth and sell some of their homemade products. Leona, Lilly, Lorelai and Lila pooled their efforts and made reindeer food, bracelets, earrings and shower steamers to sell. It was hard to keep all four girls behind the table, but mom, Kari, managed to keep two with her for a photo. Left to right are Lilly and Leona Burton with their mom, Kari.

Despite the cold and frigid weather and the snow, the White Hall Christmas in the Park on Saturday went on as planned and everyone had a great time. There were numerous vendors and the Chili Cookoff made sure there was something hot to put in the belly to keep everyone warm. The Greene County Days royalty also provided free hot chocolate in their tent. In the afternoon there were free carriage rides and the afternoon was capped off with a Christmas parade. The White Hall Lions Club outdid themselves this year.
