A visit from Santa Claus, some hot cider and homemade cookies, plus the Christmas carols sung by the choir, all made for a festive evening hosted Friday, Dec. 16 at the Farmington firehouse. Situated at the corner of Highway 4 and Escalon-Bellota Road, the firehouse has served as a stopping off point for Santa for several years, taking time to help bring holiday wishes to the community. Festivities on Friday started with members of the Farmington United Methodist Church choir offering up some carols and traditional Christmas songs, encouraging the crowd to join in on the ones they knew.
