2 in case you missed it... january 5 2010 Very cold temperatures froze the Mill Pond in Vernonia and left everyone looking for a warm place to snuggle up. Santa Claus stopped by the West Or- egon Electric office during a visit to Vernonia. Kids of all ages got a chance to sit on Santa's knee and tell him whether they have been bad or good this year. Above: Vernonia Cares Food Bank Volunteers with some of the many holiday boxes they pre- pared for their clients. Winter Ginger Bread-VHS Students in the Folk Art Class cre- ated these likenesses of Vernonia businesses. Cafe 47 was built by Austin Long, Kody Dyer and Holleigh Cavett; Black Bear was created by Levi Timmerman, Jacob Dixon, and Karly De- Witt; and Mini Mart was constructed by Kelsey Brown, Mikol Pihl, and Kendrick Leaverton. Right and Below: Volunteers helped wrap pres- ents at the Vernonia Fire Station for Santa so they could be delivered during this year's “Toy and Joy.” Special tree ornaments— only in Vernonia!
