Photos with Santa
Santa and Mrs. Claus, a.ka. Pat and Kim McGuire, greet the children who arrived for a photo shoot with Santa and some craft time. McGuire generously gives his time and space at the Clarksville American Legion building each year for the community to come and take their own photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Joining them again this year was The Grinch, a.ka. Billie Stahlschmidt. So the children would not be afraid, she would often have to pull off the costume head to show that she was a real person underneath. Photo by Stan Schwartz
