3rd Weekend of 2018


One of our many faithful volunteers getting his own personalized name tag from the mayor. 


The exchange students from St. Johns were elves this weekend.  They asked Santa to join them as they pointed to their hometown on our "pin your hometown" map. 




Santa and Mrs. Claus waiting for the train. 


This is a view that never gets old. 


It's always fun to wave at the train as it comes into town and again when it leaves. 


The kids love meeting Santa.  And some bigger kids do too.

Putting their "first gift of Christmas" entry into the North Pole mail box.
