Santa Claus Is Coming To East Montgomery County Texas

Santa Claus is coming to town-


And oh, how surprised he'll be when he

gets a good look around.




Starting in Granderland, and Fostoria,

East Montgomery County-

Has always been the interesting place

to be.




Landing in Splendora, Santa sets his

eyes on the trees, especially the pine-

And then he hones in on the East

Montgomery County Development,

Center, where the new Senior Citizen

building is what he will find.






The perfect addition, a building for so

many activities to take place-

Santa then heads further down the road,

with a smile on his face.




Patton Village and Roman Forest, are

decorated to the max-

Santa stops for a moment to deliver

his gifts, and to re-adjust in his sled,

those heavy sacks.




The Roman Forest Special Committee

has been working hard on their

fundraiser event-

To ensure that there is a Fourth of July

Firework Show 2010, where much local

family fun is spent.




And then Santa suddenly notices some

forest that has been cleared-

It makes him sad, as a matter of fact

he gets downright teared.




Until he realizes that the dinosaur park is

going right there in the middle of New

Caney-

And all is okay as he says what a grand

affair, this will be.




And then he hovers over the EMCID building,

and drops a few packages here as far as

he can see-

This is the place where Sawmill Festival 2009

was held by the Chamber of Commerce of

East Montgomery County, and the East

Montgomery County Historical Society won

the first place trophy.




Onto Porter, the last town, but of course, but not

the least-

And he stops in to see the Porter Fire Department,

and admires the new fire training center, where

safety training has been increased.




The future East County Museum is still there, and

he knows that one day it will reside in a new place-

As Santa reflects on all that the East Montgomery

County Historical Society has done, it puts a smile

on his face.





As he leaves the county he shouts out loud,"A very

Merry Christmas to the East Montgomery County

residents, a "unique" Texas county-

In 2010, may you continue to grow, and may you

continue your good works of preserving the history of

exactly how it used to be."
