      The Wawota Business Enhancement Group hosted their annual Santa Day and Customer Appreciation Day on the evening of Friday, Dec. 2.
           The evening began at 3:30 a.m. with a free skate at the Wawota Forum where snacks were provided by the School Community Council. Youth were free to skate on the west end of the rink or play hockey on the east end of the Forum.
           Crafts were then hosted by the Wawota Daycare for youth to take part in, while outside they enjoyed horse drawn hay rides.
           A hot dog meal was provided by the WBEG and at 5 p.m. the WBEG welcomed Santa Claus to town for pictures with the big man compliments of the Conexus Credit Union. Youth were excited to meet Santa, tell him what they'd like for Christmas, and take a photo with him.
           Finally, at 7 p.m., a free movie was hosted at the United Church Community Centre.
           Throughout the day the Grad 2017 students assisted the WBEG in running the event.
           Additionally most businesses in town were also open late for evening shopping.
           Many people were out and about for the town-wide event, which was enjoyed by all.
