PHOTOS: Santa and Mrs. Claus meet Quesnel’s youngsters

QDA’s Santa Extravaganza event a hit on Saturday

Santa Claus arrived downtown Quesnel Saturday Dec. 1 by fire truck, and greeted fans young and old at Spirit Square.

He brought Mrs. Claus along with him to the Quesnel Downtown Association’s Santa Extravaganza event, to find out what the local children want for Christmas.

Kids crowded around the open fires in the square to roast marshmallows while awaiting their turn with Santa, and many enjoyed picking up a hockey stick to play with the Goldpanners hockey team.

The miniature horses (dressed as reindeer, and even a unicorn) were also a big draw for animal lovers.
