Well, some of them will get a chance to run this Sunday on our LIFE section cover. I will pull as many of them from every city that I can and give some people who just missed out on me making them famous some face-time in The News.
I don't know how many times I've seen Santa this year, but the 'big man in red' sure gets around. I've seen him at the Central Mall, I've seen him at different parties and festivals. I saw him last Sunday at my church, he's been in every parade at least twice. I've seen him on a fire truck, on a tractor, on a flatbed trailer, and yesterday I saw him on a Harley.
Yup, The News' second annual Wishes Granted event took place here in the news room yesterday, as you already know because you read the story and saw the photo on our front page today. But what you don't know is that Santa and his elf both rode up on respective motorcycles for the festivities.
He proudly showed off his 'hog' after the event was over.
We also had a nice little 'wild art' on the front page today (for those of you who don't know, a 'wild art' is a picture that runs with only a caption underneath; it has no full story with it).
A CYF youth group from the First Christian Church of Port Arthur decided instead of having their usual gift exchange with one another, they would raise money and adopt a needy family for Christmas. Through the Salvation Army of Port Arthur, they found a family with six young children, and the youth groups went out and raised enough money to buy toys for all the kids. They even had leftover money to buy the family a meal.
It's so awesome, but this time of the year is full of stories like this. And working here at The News, we get to see our fair share of uplifting tales. Till next time...
