Visitors filled Town Hall to listen to local musicians, enjoy a meal or Christmas cookie, and browse the many tables of wares for sale. About 60 children (and an adult or two) found their way to Santa's lap where they shared their Christmas wish list, got their picture taken, and received a goodie bag, courtesy of the Waitsburg Commercial Club. Children enjoyed decorating cookies and Christmas ornaments with Waitsburg Celebration Days royalty, Emily Adams and Cheyanne Shoun.
