At least 40 adults had a great time just watching the fun. First, Father Morrissey told the Christmas story to all the assembled tots, asking questions and awarding licorice sticks for the right answers. Paul Dietrich took over at the piano, with Jerry Van 13ruane and Roberta Walker to lead a joyous, noisy singsong of Christmas carols. Then in came the clowns (who per- form each summer at London Storybook Gardens) to entertain with magic, mime, music, ventriloquism, and, most fun of all, juggling. Lots of squeals, giggles and laughter, even from some of the "grown-ups". Final- ly Santa Claus arrived, to hand out a gift t4 each child, and the noise (and litter levels) sharply increased! After bidding farewell to Santa, un- til December 24 anyway, everyone dug into doughnuts, cheese and crackers, and pop. A peat party. A good job done by party organizers, sirnoble Larry Luther and his sultana' Carol, and sirnoble Jerry Vanbruane and his sultana Rose, and everyone who helped to make the event such a success,! .
