IT’S REAL

IT’S REAL — Karson King, 3-year-old son of Jordan King of Newbern and Mason Finch of Union City, gave Santa’s beard a tug, with permission from the jolly old elf, to make sure he was talking to the real deal during Woodland Mills’ Christmas event Saturday at the Civic Center. Children were also treated to visits with the Grinch, crafts, a movie and refreshments. According to Mayor Joe Lewis, more than 100 people enjoyed the day’s events.
