Santa claus holiday gift evenT 2021
In these difficult times, former Councilman Anselmo Millan, the President of Harrison Fest Inc, thoughts turned to the children of Harrison and the joy of the annual Harrison Fest Holiday Party. Under the current (December 19, 2021) Covid circumstances of an increasing number of positive covid cases, an indoor event was ruled out. It would have been easy to announce a cancellation of the Holiday Party but former Councilman Anselmo Millan thought that a very successful Turkey Drive was done outdoors that Harrison Fest volunteers could hold an outdoor Santa Claus Holiday Gift party outdoors. An additional precaution beyond holding the event outdoors was the requirement that everyone wears a mask. The event was held in the Driveway and Back yard of Anselmo Millan’s house in Harrison. Masks were provided to anyone who did not have one upon arrival. The event went very well. Although there was a large crowd (500 gifts were given out by Santa), everyone was patient and every child was able to receive a gift from Santa and enjoy a hot cocoa, popcorn, various chips and snack, danishes, and donuts to go.
The joy of the children was contagious and despite a cold day and a nice wind, it was a wonderful day for all involved.
A Thank You to our Sponsors and Volunteers.
