Viewfinder: Santa Comes to Town

Santa added many names to his "nice" list at the annual Breakfast with Santa at the Highland Recreation Complex.

Wide-eyed children watched as Santa walked through the doors of the Highland Recreation Complex. Some greeted him with hugs and other children slid behind mom or dad unsure of the long, white beard and bright, red suit.
