The city of Ocean Shores held a well-attended Christmas tree lighting ceremony at its Convention Center on Friday, Nov. 28.

Gladys Whitney and Scott Malone and the Faith Community Choir performed classic Christmas songs while Santa and Mrs. Claus took time out from their busy schedule at the North Pole to hand out candy canes and pose for photos. Volunteers handed out hot cocoa and cookies. Mayor Frank Elduen officiated the ceremonies as Santa lit the tree accompanied by a blast of man-made snow.
