Five-year-old Anakin Schnack, of Hartley, was more than happy to see Santa Claus during his stop in Hartley on Dec. 4 following the light parade. Several local youngsters filed into the fire station to share their lists with the jolly ol' elf, who was accompanied by Mrs. Claus.

More photos of his visit will be published in the Dec. 22 edition of the Sentinel-News, along with letters to Santa penned by elementary students at H-M-S and Clay Central/Everly.
