Santa paid a visit to the Benezette Hotel last Saturday night.  All the kids got to spend some quality time with the big guy.  When asked if they'd been naughty or nice, the kids, with very sincere faces, all stated unequivocally that they'd been nice. After the kids went home to bed, we hosted a Christmas Party to express our appreciation to the community and our customers for welcoming us to town and supporting our efforts to make the Hotel a great place to grab a bite to eat, to enjoy a beverage with friends, and to swap stories.  Several dozen patrons, as well as our staff, joined us in the celebration.  As usual, the food was great and the folks were fun!
