   After seven wonderful years of embodying the magic of the holiday season as Santa and Mrs. Claus, Jocko and Lucinda Kline have decided to retire from their beloved roles. Since 2018, the Klines have brought joy and wonder to countless children through the annual Photos with Santa event, hosted by the Longville Area Women of Today.

   The Longville Area Women of Today would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Jocko and Lucinda for their tireless dedication and generosity in bringing this cherished tradition to life. Their warmth, spirit, and kindness have left an indelible mark on the community.

   A special thank-you also goes out to Laurel Fladmoe for her role as Rudolph throughout the years, adding an extra touch of magic to the festivities.

   Photos with Santa is a treasured event for families in the surrounding areas, offering an opportunity for children to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus and have their picture taken for free. Parents and children alike have enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, complete with complimentary cookies, coffee, and hot chocolate.

   The Klines’ commitment and enthusiasm have been instrumental in the success of this event, making it a highlight of the holiday season for the Longville community. Their presence will be greatly missed, but their legacy of spreading joy will live on.
