Lamar Democrat/Melody Metzger Members of the community were blessed by the Lamar Methodist Church on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, with the yearly tradition of a traditional Christmas dinner cooked and served by members of the church. Dinners were available for delivery, pick up or dine in from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the church’s family life center. The number of meals topped last year with a total of 750 being served, with 400 deliveries, 200 pick ups and the rest enjoying their time dining in as they visited with family and friends. The many volunteers through both donations of their time and money are invaluable and extremely appreciated.

Lamar Democrat/Melody Metzger Despite the rather chilly weather Friday night, Dec. 20, there was a huge attendance at Christmas in the Park, as children and adults both had a fun filled variety of events keeping them busy throughout the evening. Many took the opportunity to have their picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with trying to burst the pinata. The Girl Scouts offered cocoa, coffee and popcorn throughout the evening. The adults were having as much fun as the kids with the various games and helper Susan Roland works with Willow Renfro as she decorates a holiday card. The winners of the lighting contest were Kurt Marti Crop Insurance in the Business Division and the Girl Scouts in the Youth Division.
