Celebrating more than 95 years of service to the citizens of Eureka. Volume EUREKA, UTAH -- December 22, 2000 Ninety-Fiv- e Santa visits children UdosEt On Monday, December Santa made his annual trip to see the children in Eureka. He arrived at the Eureka Elementary School at 7:30 p.m. Although, Santa has never missed a trip to Eureka, this year was very special. For the first time in the last three years, he arrived at night with the THS band playing as he came in. This was very exciting for the children and parent.'" well. The band entertained us with several 18111, Christmas songs before Santa made his big entrance and did an excellent job. Good going, THS band! The PTA is the annual sponsor for Santa, along with the Halloween party. They also help pay for Operetta costumes for those who can't. The PTA works hard to raise the money for all of these activities, but are in need of help. Please take any donations to Denise Hannifin, PTA President, or to either school. ff(M Eta applications 2001 now available SALT LAKE CITY - Utahs 2001 general buck deer seasons might be months away but its already time for hunters to decide which region and seasons they want to hunt.
