Santa Claus came to town

A yearly tradition in Green River has been Santa's arrival to the city and this year was no different, as the jolly man in the red suit brought smiles to kids awaiting his visit Saturday afternoon.

While most associate Santa riding in a sleigh pulled by his nine trusty reindeer, Santa and his wife arrived to the Eagles Club in style.

Santa rode in on the back of a motorcycle while Mrs. Claus rode with firefighters in the city's vintage firetruck.

Children lined up to greet Santa and were rewarded for their patience with a chance to talk to him one-on-one while sitting on his lap. They requested a wide variety of toys and gifts.

Children also had a chance to snack on cookies and hot chocolate and received gift bags from the city's Urban Renewal Agency and Main Street.
