Rudolf wasn't the only one with a red nose Saturday evening as several dozen souls braved the cold weather to greet Santa as he came in on his sleigh (aka a decorated Shoreline Water District truck).

Santa handed out treats and posed for photos, assisted by his elves. Hot chocolate and singing carols with members of the Around the Sound band kept people warm, along with multiple layers of clothing.

The tree on top of the water tower was lit, to ooo's and ah's from the crowd. The Les Schwab covered area provided some shelter from weather.
