Mild temperatures brought out hundreds of excited children and adults for the official arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus at Bay City's Wenona Park Band Shell.

Mayor Christoper Shannon welcomed the excited crowd and read a holiday season classic, 'Twas The Night before Christmas'.

A police escort for the season's popular fellow, wrapped up an evening of story-telling, jokes, dance and song.

Eager children everywhere in the park, waved flashlights and shouted "Santa!" as he made his way down the river's edge with the flashing lights before him.

Many joined in the celebration that Candace Bales, Executive Director of Downtown Bay City Management Board called, "The biggest turn-out yet!"

She went on to say, "We've had snow and sleet and this weather tonight is so much better than some years".

After the tree lighting, Santa and Mrs. Claus made their way over to the Delta Planetarium to visit with children one on one.
