Santa arrives with Rudolph the red-flashing-lights-fire-truck. Here Santa waves to the huge crowd of childred of all ages. The day was beautiful and the train was loaded just waiting for Santa to board.
Our thanks to the Phillipsburg Fire Department for providing Santa's sleigh.

Mrs. Claus poses with two youngsters. I think they were on Santa's "Very Good" list.

The weather was perfect for this time of year and the constant stream of riders kept the volunteers busy from start to finish.
Rick Glosser came down and shot a bunch of photo's despite the fact he just recently had knee replacement surgery. We were so busy we couldn't take our annual group photo as early as usual so we lost the sun over by the ticket booth. We moved to the parking lot and as you can tell by the shadows were about 30 seconds away from loosing it there too. But wow, what a great day!
Truly, a good time was had by all!
