Fundraising - Father/Son/Daughter

This event is steeped in Optimist Tradition going back over 35 years. Grandfathers and fathers bring their grandchildren and children to this annual dinner to allow the grandmother and mothers to have peace and quiet while preparing for Thanksgiving. This event falls on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and has entertainment for the kids. Also, a special guest appearance is made by Santa Claus himself with a bag full of toys for the good girls and boys.
