Beatrice may not yet own the moniker ‘Christmas City’ but for at least one day the town was transformed into a holiday wonderland.
For nearly 12 consecutive hours on Saturday, several local groups and businesses combined efforts to give families a plethora of Christmas-related activities.
The day started as Beatrice Community Preschool hosted an opportunity for families to have breakfast, do craft activities, decorate a cookie and meet the Grinch and Santa.
“Teachers, paras and staff from the preschool worked with Blue Valley Head Start,” said Sarah Bartlett, a teacher at the school. “We also had the Beatrice High School Key Club help with crafts. The Early Risers Kiwanis Club served a pancake breakfast for families too.“
Missy Timmerman said this is the seventh year the preschool has hosted the event.
