Holiday breakfast a time-tested tradition in Kingston

They may not have been as busy as Santa and his crew, but there’s no denying the Kingston Lions had their work cut out for them during the holidays.

Many volunteers with the local service club rise long before the sun to prepare a community breakfast for hundreds to enjoy. The Christmas Eve Breakfast, now a holiday tradition for generations of local families, ran from 6: 30 to 10: 30 a. m.

The free- will offering event offered a full hot breakfast – drinks, sausage, ham, eggs, toast, hash browns, pancakes and muffins – and a visit from Santa.
