Leland celebrates 16th Annual Christmas Festival

It looked a lot like Christmas in Leland Saturday, as the town celebrated its 16th Annual Christmas Festival. The holiday spirit was kindled, beginning with a Christmas parade, floats, automobiles, and musical groups.

The grand finale was of course, Santa Claus himself, riding on a Leland fire truck, accompanied by Mrs. Claus.

The festival seemed to get almost everyone in the holiday mood.

Kids said the best part was all the free candy and treats.
