VISIT WITH SANTA: Three-year-old Tristan Freman was one of the many - hesitant at times - area children who visited with Santa Claus during the Whitehall Christmas Stroll on Friday, December 3. Santa set up shop at Merlin's Pizza Parlor during the afternoon to take Christmas gift requests, pose for photographs, and hand out candy canes. The stroll featured a variety of holiday events, and good crowds attended most of the festivities.
