DUNNVILLE—On Saturday, November 30, 2024 more than 100 people attended the seventh annual Stories with Santa at Julia’s Old Fashioned Christmas Charity. The event is free for all who attend. Julia Marchese said, “We let the kids go and create a memory and take as many stuffed animals and toys as they want. We also invite seniors who get a stuffed cup.… It’s like a family gathering that means a lot to me.” Refreshments, cake, and pizza (donated by Mudcat Entertainment Centre) were enjoyed by all who attended. For information about the many ways Julia’s charity helps the community, how you may help, and the many special events they hold throughout the year, call 905-774-4040.
