The town of Oakland ushered in the holiday season with a family event Saturday afternoon in Town Square.
Oakland was a popular place to be Saturday, Dec. 4, when the town held its Santa’s Lane Christmas event in the Town Square. Santa Claus made his entrance in a horse-drawn carriage and took a seat in front of the giant Christmas tree to listen to each child’s wish list. Santa’s elves were there to help hand out goody bags.
Other activities included performances by local students, pony rides, food carts, a chance to write a letter to Santa and the opportunity to vote for the best-decorated Christmas tree in the Healthy West Orange Arts and Heritage Center at the Town of Oakland.
