All bundled up, South Barber Elementary students walked from their school to the corner lot at 7th and Main Street where they found Santa's House in the "North Pole."

Kiowa's Chamber of Commerce created the setting complete with Christmas trees for the children to decorate. By classes, the K-6th graders brought red tinsel and homemade ornaments they made in their classrooms to bring more Christmas cheer to the display.

Once they decorated the trees, children were treated to chocolate chip cookies and juice provided by "Miss Sue" at the Plum Thickett and served by chamber members. This has become a welcome tradition for the students and community.
