🎄✨ Tripp’s Christmas Village – A Day Full of Smiles & Holiday Cheer ✨🎄
This past Saturday, we were honored to host Tripp’s Christmas Village, a special event where we provided a Christmas party for the well-deserved children in our community. ❤️
The kids enjoyed a magical visit with Santa, including a photo, along with toys, blankets, socks, and other goodies. They also had a blast with cookie decorating, bracelet making, ornament crafting, a train ride, and other fun carnival rides. 🎅🍪🎨🚂
To keep everyone warm and happy, we served hot chocolate, cotton candy, and lunch. The smiles on the children’s faces—and those of their families—truly said it all. 😊
We want to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated to help make this great event possible, and a huge THANK YOU to all of our Elks members and volunteers who gave their time and hearts to make it such a wonderful success. 💙🦌
This week’s icon hits a little different in December. 🎤✨
From sing-along anthems to holiday classics that never leave the rotation, Wham! and George Michael helped define the sound of the season. If you know, you know.
Grab your crew, warm up those vocals, and let the nostalgia do the rest. 🎶❄️
Reserve your table and sing along all weekend long. 📞 (956) 825-1095

They also had a blast with cookie decorating, bracelet making, ornament crafting, a train ride, and other fun carnival rides. 🎅🍪🎨🚂 To keep everyone warm and happy, we served hot chocolate, cotton candy, and lunch. The smiles on the children’s faces—and those of their families—truly said it all. 😊 We want to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated to help make this great event possible, and a huge THANK YOU to all of our Elks members and volunteers who gave their time and hearts to make it such a wonderful success. 💙🦌
