Santa Arrives Merry on Main Street Saturday, Kicks Off the Holiday Season

The jolly one shared the duties with Mrs. Claus and the Grinch during the annual "Merry Main Street" celebration in Sykesville.

Santa Claus made a grand arrival on a fire truck in Sykesville Saturday evening to light the tree and kick-off the season.

Santa was joined at the Town of Sykesville's "Merry Main Street" event by the Grinch in the afternoon and Mrs. Claus joined the jolly fellow to help light the tree.

The Grinch met folks at the Sykesville Town House where there was gift wrapping for presents brought on Main Street, reindeer cupcakes, letters to Santa and music by String Echoes. The event was sponsored by the Sykesville Parks and Recreation.
