We had a truly magical time hosting our “Photos with Santa” event, which attracted a fantastic turnout! Santa journeyed from the North Pole, accompanied by the Grinch, creating a joyful atmosphere filled with homemade cookies made with OONI, fresh cotton candy, snacks, and gift bags.

Kids were invited to mail heartfelt letters to Santa, sharing their acts of kindness and Christmas wishes. We also had a printed Toy Flyer from Valley Ace, where kids could spend time looking at and circling items they might want to ask for. With over 45 families joining us, the spirit of joy and togetherness filled every corner, as laughter and smiles brightened the day.

The Grinch was a wonderful addition, exuding charm just like in the movies. His engaging presence captivated the children as they playfully chased him, and his journey to the Christmas parade brought even more smiles and laughter to everyone.

Among the many memorable moments, my favorite was when a young boy expressed the need for companionship among his toy soldiers, saying, “My toy soldiers were lonely and needed wives!” He even chose a Barbie with a dog, ensuring that his army dogs would have friends as well!

]]> Valley Ace Hardware extends a special thanks to all of the families that participated in our Children’s Workshops in 2022, and also to our staff of “Teachers”. We had three fun and educational events this summer:

On June 11th, in conjunction with the Family Fun Day hosted by the Custer County Kids Council, we explored Astronomy, focusing specifically on Constellations, Phases of the Moon, and Planets. We had lots of hands-on activities and visual aids that helped us interact and communicate with the kids.

On July 9th, we studied birds; their diets, nest types, and how their physical characteristics affect their life activities. The kids got to dream up their ideal specimen and build it with various foam and felt pieces, and even some real feathers.

August 13th was all about electricity. The kids learned how to power a light with a potato, had fun with static electricity, and lit up LED’s using just pennies and washers.

These events aren’t just fun and educational for the kids, but the Valley Ace Hardware staff has a great time planning and participating in these events. Helping our children grow and develop is a paramount responsibility, and the Valley Ace Hardware staff is honored that the parents in our community trust us to share and interact with their children.
