In honor of Bob Zeagler, who was well known in Batavia for decorating his Jeep Cherokee for the various holidays throughout the year, especially Christmas, and dressing up in detailed costumes to match, area residents again on Sunday held the Third Annual Bob's Christmas at Batavia First Presbyterian Church.
This year included a Santa's Workshop with presents for kids.

Bob's Christmas Car Day, hosted by Little Free Pantry Batavia, is a testament to the incredible generosity and community spirit of Batavia during the holiday season. We're excited to share this magical day with all of you.
Sunday is the inaugural "Bob's Christmas Car Day" created in honor of Bob Zeagler, who used to decorate his Jeep Wrangler in different themes for each holiday throughout the year with a special effort for Christmas.
Residents are encouraged to decorate their car in a "Bob-inspired" way and drive around Batavia starting at 4 p.m. For those who want to be part of a group of cars, there will be a starting point at Ficarella's Pizzeria on Liberty Street in Batavia. It appears some of the details, such as routes, are still being worked out. Check the Facebook group for more information and updates.
