a holiday bash, Balaton style
MORE THAN 150 PEOPLE attended Sunday’s Balaton Area Chamber of Commerce Holiday Soup Supper at the Balaton Community Center. There were many highlights from the event (besides the great soup). Santa Claus was there to take photos with the kids, and the Gingerbread Man and the Cookie Monster also made a surprise appearance and posed for a group photo with the kids. Photos of the winning homes in the Chamber’s holiday lighting contest in both Balaton and Tracy will be published in next week’s Headlight Herald special Christmas Edition.

SKYLER BENSON, 6, of Balaton, smiled for the camera (we’re pretty sure Santa was smiling, too).
