Strikes, spares, Santa spread holiday cheer in Wilkes-Barre

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Some local families are in the holiday spirit thanks to some strikes, spares, and Santa himself.

Magic 93 and Chacko's Family Bowling Center hosted their Breakfast and Bowling with Santa on Sunday.

Families enjoyed 93 minutes of bowling, a hearty breakfast, and some one-on-one time with the big guy himself.

The event drew 180 bowlers, taking over 35 lanes.

Santa visited every lane, greeting families, posing for pictures, and spreading some holiday cheer.

"McKenna has been ready since the beginning of the week before Thanksgiving when I told her we were coming. She's excited, she loves to bowl, loves being with her friends, and seeing Santa? Even better," attendee and mother Christine Granahan said.

Organizers say the reason they host Breakfast and Bowling with Santa at Chacko's is the smiles they get in return.
