He started at the local school library right after school let out, and at 5:00 he was escorted downtown to the local bank by the fire department. There the kids lined up for pictures with the big guy and to give him their requests. Every year the bank takes the pictures, prints them right there, puts them in a nice framed card, and gives them to the families free. What a nice service to the community!
Waiting in the 4 degree cold for Santa to show up.
The firemen delivering their precious cargo.
Out of his mind with excitement that "Poppa" Santa rode the fire truck-his favorite vehicle.
Gingerbread contest-also sponsored by the bank.
The evening ended with fireworks.
The planners were happy with the turnout since the daily lows were -25 F up until last night when it warmed up to +4. I figure people were tired of being cooped up so they bundled up and came out. This is always a nice way to start the Christmas countdown.
Any guesses on who Santa was?
