We had a ridiculous amount of fun when Santa and Mrs. Merry Claus paid us a visit at our regular monthly meeting on November 13. Canterbury Historical Society President Linda Orlomoski shot free photos of everyone in attendance who wanted to pose with the Clauses. Takers included lots of adorable little kids from the local area, and quite a few really cute bigger kids too.

Enjoy a sampling of the evening’s photos on our Facebook page.
