Santa was a very busy, but jolly, elf on Monday evening at Christmas in the Park. He arrived on the Campbell Family antique fire truck accompanied by Miss Friona first runner-up Erica Barrera and Little Miss Friona Abigail Guerra.

Above, he spoke with Bostyn Pope and Velena Vazquez while they were getting their pictures taken.
