Christmas came early for Gadsden County youth in our Quincy neighborhood.
Early Wednesday, the Gadsden County School District hosted a Christmas Gift Giveaway for 16 students of Quincy Headstart.
Youth were given the opportunity to take a tour of the building, meet Santa Claus and perform songs for parents and staff across all departments.
Department heads would then present youth with presents that were on their wishlist.
