Santa Claus arrives in town November 24, 1956 in a brand new Lincoln convertible, then stops at the new Chamber of Commerce building before playing in a band by the Bee Hive at 1st & Main. File photos courtesy of the Union-Bulletin.
The band is "Bert Wells and his Buckaroo Time" troupe from Pasco who put on a morning and afternoon performance from the truck bed. Ed Smith was the Master of Ceremonies.
