Black River Memorial Holiday Tea        

 

A visit from Santa is always a high point at the Black River Memorial Hospital Partner's Holiday Tea. The event also includes a chance to sample holiday treats at the tea table, a silent auction of donated items from the community, a raffle, an opportunity to shop for Christmas presents at the Partners run gift shop, and a bake sale featuring everything from multiple flavors of scones to homemade dog treats for a person's furry kids. 

The elf in the background is Jen Mattson, who is a Partner member. She is one of the many Partner members whose efforts make the Holiday Teas a great community event and a major fundraising success.
