Santa paid a quick visit to Castlebar on Friday 1st December 2000. And here are the photographs to prove it!

Santa and admirers

Santa and even more admirers

Christmas bell in hand he hands out fistfuls of sweets - in anticipation of Christmas Day?

Would you kiss Santa Claus?

Taking my photo with Santa!

Hard work to get this lot to line up with all the excitement

Sweets from Santa.... yum!
