One of the enduring traditions of Christmas in Ida is the annual Children’s Lunch with Santa, hosted by the esteemed Lynn C. Weeman Post of the American Legion and its Auxiliary. This original festival event, steeped in community spirit and generosity, serves as a testament to the rich history and enduring values of Christmas in Ida.

This festive occasion sees over 300 children being treated to a complimentary lunch comprising hot dogs, chips, dessert, and beverages. Additionally, each child is presented with a gift package containing items generously donated by local businesses, embodying the community’s spirit of giving.
