VIDEO: Milford Lions Club Pancake Breakfast

About 800 people stopped by Milford High School Sunday to tell Santa their wish-list and meet a Patriots legend.

The Milford Lions Club held its annual pancake breakfast with Santa at the Milford High School cafeteria. In addition to pictures with St. Nicholas, participants took part in face-painting, games, and raffles. Milford Woodland School Chorus and Milford Strings performed. Leonardo the Lion, the Milford Lions’ mascot, entertained while attendees lined up for autographs and photos with Steve Nelson, a former New England Patriots linebacker. The event raised money to fund eye research to end blindness, in addition to providing scholarships to Milford High School graduating seniors and assistance to local causes.

What do you want Santa Claus to bring you this year? The kids at Tracy and Becky Day Care Center and Preschool have given this some thought. We interviewed five children at the preschool on East Main Street, about their holiday wishes.

POLL: What to Leave Santa?

One of the traditions of Christmas is leaving a little something for Santa and the reindeer. What is your tradition?
