Santa appearances in December
Gays Mills, Soldiers Grove and Readstown
Santa in Ferryville
A cheery if chilly crowd was on hand to help kick off holiday festivities in Ferryville on Monday evening. The hardy attendees enjoyed the lights, cookies and hot cocoa, Christmas carols, and visits with Santa and goodie bags. Here, a family that has attended for many years is seen enjoying the fun. Pictured, from left are LeRoy Emerson of Ferryville, Santa, and Ev Wick of DeSoto, with his children Maddax and Moryn.

Continuing on from Ferryville, Santa will make his seasonal rounds of other local venues over the next two weeks.
