Scope and content
Two cute little girls, names not given, look very happy to be hugged by a jolly Santa at the American Legion's Edward B. Rhodes Post No. 2 and Opportunity & Development, Inc. Christmas celebration in December of 1967. Santa joined hundreds of children at the party which included a turkey and ham dinner, musical entertainment by the Stadium High School Band and Lincoln High School Chorale, and gifts and toys for all. Santa had made his arrival via one of Tacoma's fire engines. Originally scheduled at the Normanna Hall, the venue was changed to the Rhodes Post's 407 South G Street address when the guest list grew to 500 youngsters.
