SANTA VISITS NORTHLANDS PARK

ASHA Christmas Party 2017
​Santa made time to stop by the Annual ASHA Christmas Party, yesterday(Dec 10, 2017) at the Homestretch Cafe located on the backstretch of Northlands Park, Edmonton, AB. Linda Smith and staff (Homestretch Cafe) put on an amazing meal before Santa stopped by, and everyone had a great time enjoying a little bit of down time and fun from their regular routine. The children reluctantly let Santa leave so he could check out some horses before he had to go back to the North Pole to continue getting ready for Christmas. Special thanks to Julie Brewster for the photos, and to everyone at the Homestretch Cafe for a wonderful dinner, and a lot of fun.
