They started in the early 1920's & continued for about 20 years. Children who attended the first ones were later accompanying their own kiddies to the party.

The LeForce home was at 824 W. Clyde, a 20 room house. Each year it was decorated like a Christmas tree. In fact, Sam LeForce won the prize more than once for the best outdoor decorations.

Sacks of candy were given out by Santa Claus along with plenty of apples & oranges. Before the parties ended more than 300 were attending them from all parts of the country, even Nowata & Kansas.

A short program was always presented by young entertainers. Lois Ann LeForce, Dixie LeForce, Margarite Goodpaster & others were on the programs in the 1930's.
