On Tuesday, Dec. 21, the Town of Jennings held a special Santa Claus meet-and-greet for children to express how good they’ve been this year. Children and their families were invited to sit down with Santa at the Jennings Town Hall for a photo opportunity and to tell Santa their last minute Christmas desires. There was also a surprise appearance by the Grinch, who stuck around for families to take pictures with, as well. Santa Claus arrived in a firetruck, with snow blowing behind him, before heading inside for a wonderful time meeting the local children. Chief Robertson played the role of the Grinch and Austin Amerson played the part of Santa Claus. Lanita Peterson and Jennifer Hightower helped out as Santa’s elves. The children were overjoyed and screams of excitement filled the air at the appearance of both the Grinch and Santa. The event proved to be a wonderful moment for the children.
