    Legion Posts Bring Santa to Kids

    American Legion Posts across New York State have been hosting a variety of holiday events, including holding Christmas parties for children – such as Utica Post 229’s annual event that boasts clowns, elves, Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer, and Santa himself.

    The parties featured free refreshments and gifts for every child.
