Greenwood, who has been doing this fantastic event since the early ’80s, came in every night after work for two weeks before the event to set up and then every night after work after the event to clean it all up. Maclean in- formed me. “Greenwood and several other local volunteers do an amazing job.”
Even though the holidays are over, we still have the happy memories that were made back in December. So we can give a big shoutout to the Tapply Thompson Community Center for always going above and be- yond with the events they put on and the countless volunteers who help make them come to life.

their list and stayed within bud- get. We also had several other volunteers that helped wrap and tag gifts. The event was great!”
The TTCC’s Santa’s Village was their biggest event that went off without a hitch. This was the first year they got to hold the event inside since 2019. During COVID, they still did a fantastic job doing what they could with what they had outside, but it was nice to go back to their original ways and have Santa’s Village in- side. Over the course of the week- end, they had over a thousand people come in to experience the magic of the village. Newfound families came in, registered, saw Santa and his elves, and had a jolly good time. Waiting to see Santa was no issue because the amazing volunteers made sure to create a village that was so mag- ical for everyone. They had elves at all these different stations, like Santa’s post office, a sweet shop, and many more. And then, of course, people came to see the magnificent trains!
Once the children got their turn to see Santa, they got to sit on his lap, get an ornament, take a picture, and finish it off with a sweet cookie from Mrs. Clause. The response from the commu- nity to this fun-filled event was nothing short of positive. For
years, the TTCC has always come together to provide holiday cheer for everyone.
Dan MacLean told me that it was all because of the volunteers. “Over 100 people helped to put this all together,” MacLean said. “JJill sent volunteers over to help decorate, and we had twenty or more of our pickleball players to help decorate as well, and peo- ple helped bake Mrs. Clause’s cookies.” They also had thirty elves comprised of 4th and 5th graders and notable elf directors to help coordinate and train the little elves. Then, of course, there were talented volunteers to play Santa, Mrs. Clause, reindeer, and the snowmen, as well as people to help out with the raffles, conces-
sions, registration, and greetings. It’s no secret that a lot of work and planning goes into Santa’s Village. With over 1000 people on the horizon, the TTCC knew
they had to do whatever it took to put a successful holiday event on. “Everyone helped out big time. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without any of them,” Ma-
