Third-generation owner, Brooks Shaw, said it is an honor to host the annual event.
“I’m proud to continue the tradition of our annual Christmas Eve Breakfast,” Shaw said. “It has become a cherished tradition for local families and guests alike. The day brings everyone together for fellowship and holiday fun. It’s our way of spreading joy and warmth during this special season.”
