N. CATASAUQUA, Pa. – Santa was in Northampton County for breakfast with the Catasauqua community!<\/p>\n
The Chapman Masonic Lodge hosted the event on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
They started it as a community outreach event 3 year ago – and its since grown into a philanthropic event.<\/p>\n
Since the breakfast fell on Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day — this year they chose the Northampton American Legion as their beneficiary.<\/p>\n
Those with the temple say participation has only grown in the past few years.<\/p>\n
“The first year we actually had about 176 folks. Last year, we had a lot of community involvement, a lot of community donations. We actually had 312 participants last year. This year, we’re expected somewhere around 400,” said Rich Mullen, Jr. Warden of Chapman Lodge #637.<\/p>\n
Donations also benefitted the Northampton Middle School food drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"N.
