Purdy Elementary School in Fort Atkinson was brimming with holiday spirit Saturday when it hosted its annual Breakfast with Santa.
Purdy pupils and their families gathered between 8 and 10 a.m. to enjoy pancakes flipped by Fort Atkinson Kiwanis Club members, Jones Dairy Farm sausage, orange juice, milk and coffee.
The morning also included crafts, a silent auction and games for the children.
Of course, as the event’s name implies, the highlight was a visit by Santa Claus, who was on hand to chat with youngsters about their Christmas wish lists and pose for photos.
The event was sponsored by the Purdy Parent-Teacher Organization.
After breakfast, many of the attendees headed downtown for hayrides with Santa, sponsored by Badger Bank, and shopping at the Fort Atkinson Holiday Market and Open House.
