Pet Pictures with Santa . . .

was held a few days ago, here are some snap shots of the event  . . . . the actual pictures were taken by photographer Darren Bernaerdt and are much better quality than these ones, but it's always fun to post some random shots  :-)

About 100 people brought their pet for a picture with Santa, the majority of pets were dogs but we did see several cats and one guinea pig - who thankfully managed to not disappear inside Santa's beard. 

This year we did not get a group shot at the end of the event due to running over our allotted time, but much appreciation and thanks go to Jennifer, Gail, Amie and Christa who along with Branch Manger Cindy and myself volunteered at the event . . . busy and hectic at times, but also a lot of fun. 

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
without who the event could not happen each year!
