The Austintown Dairy Queen hosted its annual Christmas event on Dec. 10.
The evening event brought in community members to enjoy the holiday festivities. Children got a free picture with Santa after he arrived by fire truck. The children got to tell Santa what was on their wish lists for Christmas.
There were two open fires where guests could roast hot dogs and marshmallows while washing it down with hot chocolate. Chestnuts were also roasting over the fire for people to try. Some of the children who tried the chestnut described the taste as a “nutty potato.”
Children had the opportunity to decorate some cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles to take home. While guests were taking part in the different activities, the Austintown Fitch High School choir sang Christmas carols as live entertainment for the guests who attended the event.
Raymond and Christine Smith host a Christmas event at each of their three Dairy Queen locations. The Smiths host other events the community can attend for other holidays throughout the year.
