Santa and Mayor Roy Ludwig were equally popular among Estevan citizens who gathered in front of City Hall Thursday night.
While kids preferred pictures with Santa, adults asked the mayor to join them for a photo.
The two came together to light up the Christmas tree and wish people happy holidays.
“I want to wish you a very merry Christmas and an awesome holiday season, and a very happy and healthy 2020,” said Ludwig and pushed the button.
The tree lights came on and a few minutes later the crowd was gone to continue the Moonlight Madness shopping downtown Estevan.
