Coming to a town near you!


Dressed as Santa Clause Dale Martensen a Free Mason at the Montgomery Masonic Lodge in Milford passes by the wall of current and former Masons. Steeped in a 20-year tradition Martensen has been dressing up as Santa and delivering toys to young patients on Christmas Eve at Milford Regional Medical Center for the past 12 years since his inception into the organization. Although Martensen loves playing the jolly old fatman for at least one night out of the year he also says it's heart wrenching. "It's hard when you visit the elderly at the hospital because you know that you are the only person that will visit," said Martensen.
