The party really got started though when Santa arrived in style on his "sleigh," otherwise known as Old Betsy, Lafayette Historical Society's fire truck.
The fun, free annual event presented by the Lafayette Chamber and sponsored by Lafayette Realtor The Dana Green Team with Branagh Development, included free activities and hot chocolate provided by the Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary.
The Sunrise Rotary club was also responsible for raffling a 1961 Volkswagen Beetle. And the grand prizewinner this year was ... drumroll, please ... City Manager Steve Falk.
Residents should be on the lookout for a relaxed, carefree former city manager cruising through Lafayette in the distinctive car in the New Year after his retirement.
