Santa Claus rounded out the fun, riding into town to meet all the local boys and girls following the parade.

Five-year-old Rafael Gariepy was very excited to meet the jolly man himself, as Kringle met all the children at Onslow Elementary School.

The arrival of Santa Claus in Quyon was preceded by the annual parade in town on Saturday at noon, starting at St. Mary’s Parish before ending at Onslow Elementary School.

Organized by the Quyon Lions and Lionettes, families had the chance to meet Santa at the school, fill up on a hot dog lunch, and wash it all down with some hot chocolate.
