Ralston Grange Christmas Party slated for Dec. 4

The Ralston Grange will host it’s annual Christmas Potluck and Party on Sunday, Dec. 4, at their hall in Ralston. The event is open to all residents in the surrounding communities.

The evening begins with a potluck dinner at 5:30 p.m. followed by the program. Attendees are asked to furnish a potluck dish; the Grange provides beverages, rolls, and table service.

The program consists of entertainment provided by those attending, with musical, dance and instrumental numbers, children’s recitations, or anything else the children, adults, or families would like to perform.

The evening concludes with a visit from Santa and parents are asked to bring a small, wrapped gift for their children for Santa to give them that evening. All children will go home with a candy bag.

Door prizes will be given out throughout the evening. Anyone wanting to donate a door prize is asked to bring it that evening or contact the Grange and they will pick it up.

This will be the 86th year the Grange has sponsored this community event, with some families taking part for five generations.

Anyone wanting more information on the party or wanting to donate an item as a door prize may contact Randy Roth at 659-0893 or email [email protected].

Decorating for the Christmas party will take place on Saturday, Dec. 3, at 8:30 a.m. The Grange will provide a biscuit and sausage gravy breakfast to all helpers.

The Grange provides all decorations but help is needed setting up for the potluck and “hanging the greens”.

The activities will conclude in time for those who want to attend the Ritzville AAUW Holiday Bazaar.
