Our dogs must have been very good this year, because for the first time ever Santa Paws visited  our park.   With help from his colleague Dan Barry, the New Years Mummer Man, Santa  posed with each dog while the dog owners  snapped pictures on their cell phones.  Santa even gave each dog a giant dog biscuit.  Santa Paws also reminded us of the less fortunate dogs in city shelters this holiday season, and  appealed to everyone for donations to the Pennsylvania S.P.C.A. to help this worthy cause.   Under the mellowing influence of the MOST DELICIOUS HOT CHOCOLATE EVER, generously donated by McShea’s Take Away on Haverford Avenue in Narberth,

Hot Chocolate from McShea's Take Away in Narberth kept us cheerful and warm

we collected over $560 for the P.S.P.C.A.  (What did you put into that hot chocolate, Andrew?)  Once again our Friends of WMC Park members surpassed expectations with their joie de vivre and generosity.  Thanks everyone for supporting our event and the P.S.P.C.A.
