More than 460 Airmen here celebrated the season Dec. 1, at the Wing Holiday Party held in the Rushmore Plaza Holiday Inn. The gathering included a performance by the Rapid City Children’s Choir, a slideshow of deployed Ellsworth members, a plated meal, and dancing. Civic leaders attended, as well as Ellsworth civilians, servicemembers of all ranks, and their guests. To decrease the cost of the event, base personnel donated funds to see wing leaders dress in themed attire. Winners of the Santa and elves competition performed for the crowd in costume.
