It was quite the feast and celebration before the holiday for the folks at the Great Bend Senior Center. Each year, the Senior Center’s biggest event, their Christmas party, opens the doors to families and community members to help celebrate the holidays.

Great Bend Recreation Commission Marketing Director Megan Hammeke was in charge of booking the musical entertainment for the Christmas party on Dec. 15.

"The Senior Center had the Great Bend Middle School groups sing and perform for them," said Hammeke. "Since we changed up Santa's Workshop, the orchestra kids that used to play at the workshop didn't have a place to go perform their Christmas music. They came to the Senior Center to perform. After lunch, the music group came in and sang."

Along with a large meal, door prizes are awarded and plenty of items are raffled off.
