Santa was the star of the show at La Conner's tree lighting ceremony on Saturday.

The La Conner High School chorus provided the music, the La Conner High School culinary arts class made the cookies and served hot chocolate.

Santa arrived in the town's antique fire truck driven by Dave Alvord.

Dozens of children sat on his lap reciting their Christmas wishes and with some magic dust, helped the jolliy elf light up the tree.
