Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived in Newberry, Mich. at 6 p.m. on Dec. 2, much to the delight of hundreds of onlookers at the American Legion Post 74. The Grinch, in handcuffs, was escorted by a representative of the Luce County Sheriff's Department. After he was released from the back seat of the cruiser, Santa and the sheriff's department pardoned him when he promised to never steal Christmas again. Then Santa did the honors and plugged in the Christmas tree, which was decorated by ornaments fashioned by local residents.
The crowd was entertained with Christmas carols by the Newberry High School Choir and were treated to a free dinner courtesy of a variety of community sponsors and served by members of the Newberry Area Chamber of Commerce and the Newberry High School Key Club.
Hope you enjoy the pictures; I think they speak for themselves.
Merry Christmas from the Withrows of Newberry
