Members of the Martensville & District Kinette Club hosted their annual Skate with Santa event at the Martensville Sports Centre on Saturday, December 6, raising funds for the upcoming Telemiracle 50 telethon.

Visitors to the event, which was held in partnership with the City of Martensville, were able to take a picture with Santa in front of a Christmas-themed backdrop in exchange for a donation to Telemiracle.

The event was also sponsored by Freeway Delivery Service, Ebani Debussac, Off Road Exteriors, Affinity Credit Union (Martensville), Save-On-Foods (Warman) and the Martensville Kinsmen.

In addition, the event featured free skating and horse-drawn wagon rides outside of the sports centre.
