Rutland’s Santa Day was another success!  More than 100 individuals attended the event in City Hall.  Kids made Christmas decorations and played bean bag toss and other games.  Adults participated in a few bingo games to win Rutland Bucks provided courtesy of the Rutland Community Club.  A free-will soup and sandwich supper was served.  Santa Claus arrived in Rutland at approximately 5:30 p.m. and kids and adults alike got an opportunity to talk to Santa and get a free Santa photo taken. (Watch for some Santa photos to be posted soon).
