Santa and the Young Ones

<< Back to archives | Saturday, December 12, 2009

Santa Claus, aka Dave Hannah the manager of the Whidbey Island Bank branch in Fairhaven, and three young sisters.  The little one in the middle is Azurai and we will get the other two names shortly.  Santa was at the Fairhaven Village Inn today listening to Holiday and Christmas requests and giving the oranges as gifts, a tradition from the 1800s.

Santa will be back next Saturday, December 19, from 12 noon to 3 pm at the Village Inn.  Plan to bring your little ones down. 

While Santa was inside holding court, outside the horse drawn wagon that brought him to Fairhaven was giving free rides to young and old.  Four Fairhaven businesses sponsored the rides:  The Fairhaven Toy Garden, The Fairhaven Village Inn, Village Books and Avenue Bread.  They contracted with Cramer Classics of Lynden to provide the holiday rides to any who wished.  A rare treat for little ones - a visit with Santa and a horse drawn wagon ride all at the same time.  We thank them for their generous treat.  And we thank Connie and Gene Shannon, the owners of the Village Inn, for hosting these two events. 

A little plug for Cramer.  Fairhaven businesses have worked with them in the past.  They provide a well managed and fun experience and have several different vehicles to choose from.  Their phone number is 360 966-2623.  They may not be a Fairhaven business, but we sure do like working with them.
