KANDIYOHI — Dozens of eager children and their families huddled on the sidewalk of Atlantic Avenue in downtown Kandiyohi as red and blue flashing lights from Kandiyohi Fire Department trucks escorted a very famous couple to the Kandiyohi Civic Center Saturday evening.
Parents filmed on their phones as children gleefully cheered as Santa and Mrs. Claus rolled up to greet the community. Everyone soon rushed back inside to warm back up and get in line to personally visit with Santa so they could tell him everything they want for Christmas coming up in two weeks.
The annual event was made possible this year by the Kandiyohi Men's Club.
