Dozens of kids, parents and even “festive” dogs took to the chilly, but sunny streets of Eastsound on Saturday, Dec. 8 to meet Santa, listen to a wandering brass band and join in holiday events throughout the day.

Grace McCune led children in singing traditional and modern holiday tunes on a hay ride around town.

John Steward, of Maple Rock Farm, merrily drove the tractor up and down Eastsound streets.

The holiday events were hosted by a group of Eastsound business owners with partial sponsorship by the Orcas Chamber of Commerce.
