Dozens of people took shelter under umbrellas or ponchos while watching a group from the Winter Garden Music Academy perform holiday songs on the stage at Christmas at Hamlin Saturday, Dec. 6.

But the constant rain didn't dampen the holiday spirit for the first two hours of the Christmas event.

Children had the opportunity to write letters to Santa as well as visit Mr. and Mrs. Claus while listening to the festive tunes coming from the stage by various groups and organizations, including Winter Garden Music Academy, Horizon West Theater Company and Cranium Academy.

Unfortunately, the steady rain forced the event to end early.
