Parker's Christmas celebration got a restart on Saturday, Dec. 10, as children and grownups alike got dinner, a chance to visit with Santa, and the opportunity to win toys. The Parker Area Ladies Society (PALS) sponsored the event, serving walking tacos, plenty of cookies and drinks before raffling off prizes. The event, held at the Parker Elementary School, was on hold for the past two years because of the pandemic. (Photos by Roger Sims/Linn County Journal)
