Over near Riverside Garage just across the way, the Jackson family warms up near a fire with their 1-year-old daughter. They came to the Stroll because “this is her first Christmas where she knows who Santa is.”
Santa also visited Riverside on Friday, Dec. 5, during that village’s Holiday Stroll, pushing the button to light up the water tower and a fir tree in Centennial Park in downtown Riverside. (Photo by Rick Majewski)
