By Frances Salyers

We had our 8th Annual Christmas in Gradyville, KY yesterday , afternoon when Santa Claus arrived at our store, D & F Grocery & Deli, to be met by the excitement of about 35 kids and grownups.

Everybody got a chance to talk with Santa, from his own little girl to big kids like Dale Hayes, who got a new hairpiece, which Santa remember to bring with him, and Tommy Hardison, who got in a request for a new motorcycle.



Everyone enjoyed the occasion, it seemed. I don't know who had more fun. We especially enjoyed having many members of Gradyville's Amish Community, and were honored, as always, to have Gradyville's own Paul Hayes, long-time editor of the Adair Progress newspaper, who is always is back home for important events here.

A good time was had by all.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone from Daril, Frances, and Natasha at D&F
