Children share their holiday wish lists with Santa Claus at Patrick Henry High School.
It was a beautiful snowy evening for the 15th Annual Holiday on 44th celebration on December 7. All along 44th Avenue folks from all over the metro area enjoyed free music, entertainment, food, beverages and all-around fun. Outside people enjoyed the fire jugglers, horse-drawn hay rides, pony rides, ice carvings and wood carvings, and got warmed up eating roasted chestnuts and roasting marshmallows. Indoors at Patrick Henry were an arts and craft show, silent auction, dancers, live music and make-and-take gingerbread fun. At Loring School kids loved the carolers and magic shows. And all the businesses along the avenue had entertainment and treats. For photo highlights by Douglas Fehlen and Brianna DeVore.
