ALL SMILES—Everyone was smiling and happy at Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, but especially these three. Mom Kelsey Stanislaw enjoyed the morning with her kids Bentley on the left and Kelbi on the right. Rockdale has more events planned for this weekend like The Lone Star Jazz Party on Saturday at The 1895 (old city hall) with performances by jazz bands Sparky Thomason Quintet, Tommy Howard Trio and Dave Wild Trio featuring Tyrha Lindsey. The Milam Touch of Love fundraiser, also on Saturday, at Brett’s Backyard Bar-B-Que is from noon to 4 p.m. which will also feature pets available for adoption, live music and Santa will make another appearance there. Christmas at The Kay is on Sunday at 3 p.m. at the historic Kay Theater in downtown Rockdale. Featured performers will be the Communities in Concert Band, the Rising Star Baptist Church Praise Singers, Tami Stockton, Melissa Davis-Shipley and Mona Butala. Attendance is free but you are asked to bring canned goods to be donated to Rockdale Christian Services. For more Breakfast with Santa photos see page 1A, 5A, 6B.
