Santa Claus arrived in
Fairview during the Community National Bank lighted holiday parade
Saturday night. Santa rode in on a float by Livingston Machinery, picked
up his letters, helped with the retail merchants' drawing, then left town
with an OHP escort provided by Trooper Gene Goodson.
Hit parade
Community
National Bank's fourth annual lighted parade was a big hit Saturday night
as crowds lined Main Street and filled the stores.
The
parade featured 40 floats and vehicles celebrating different holidays.
Fairview Fellowship Home won the large float category with its bus pulling
a float with the three crosses of Easter. Livingston Machinery won the
small float division with its lighted sleigh hauling Santa Claus. American
Legion had the second-place float in the large division while Sooner Co-op
had third place. Second place in small floats went to a horse-drawn wagon
from Nunn's Dairy while third was a lighted wagon from Stillwater pulled
by oxen.
Fairview's retail merchants held the first of its
Fairview Bucks drawings after the parade. The merchants gave away $400 in
script money. The next drawing will be Dec. 5 when the merchants will give
away over $1,000 in Fairview Bucks after the downtown
fireworks.

Living
history today
Cornelsen
Elementary School will host its annual living wax museum today in its
library media center, gymnasium and cafeteria. The public is invited to
view the museum 6-7 p.m.
According to Principal Richard
Beck, the wax museum was started as a research project for the fifth grade
students about 10 years ago. In the past, students researched a
historical person, wrote a script, memorized their part, and performed as
this person in costume.
The students stand
in a stance as a "wax" person and come alive when guests to the "museum"
press the button. Historical characters have been George Washington,
Abe Lincoln, Amelia Earhart, the Wright Brothers. Two years ago they
performed as Oklahoma historians for the Centennial, and this year each
student will represent different occupations.
Beck said
people also should check out the power point presentation in the media
center. Students present their "person" with a picture and facts about
their occupation
