MELROSE — The Mt. Hood Park Association invites the public to attend its annual free and festive Children’s Holiday Party at the Mount Hood Clubhouse, 100 Slayton Rd., Melrose on Sunday, December 8 from 1 to 3 p.m.
Please join us for this popular and festive event which includes live musical entertainment and of course a visit by Santa Claus. Santa Claus will be available from 1 to 3 p.m. so come early to avoid crowding in the hall. Desserts and refreshments will be served. This year we have invited back the Balloon Magic of Yarrow who will entertain children with his amazing balloon magic twisting them into various shapes and giving them free to children in attendance. Also, we are sponsoring a Food Drive for Servant Heart Food Pantry in Melrose as well as a Toy Drive for the needy children in our community. We encourage people to bring any dry goods, nothing perishable and new toys for any age.
The wearing of masks is optional which will be available at the door if needed. A parent or guardian must accompany the children. For more information, call 781-665-8172. This program is being supported by the Melrose Park Commission as well as Sagamore Golf, Inc. The Mt. Hood Park Association is dedicated to the promotion, protection and preservation of Mount Hood Memorial Park. To learn more about our organization, go to our new website at mthoodpa.com.
