The young- and the young at heart- are invited to spend some time with jolly old St. Nick in southern Butler County this weekend.
The Mars Area High School Student Council is sponsoring Cookies With Santa from 1:30 to 4 p.m. on Saturday in the High School cafeteria.
This free event is open to ages 10 and younger and will include pictures, a holiday movie, crafts, and refreshments like milk and cookies.
Freewill donations will be collected to benefit the family of 3-year-old Ford Bartle who is currently undergoing aggressive treatment for cancer at a center in New York.
