Tamaqua wrapped up a three-day Christmas in July festival on Sunday. The fun centered on children and families and included Santa visits, vintage Christmas exhibits, food, music, crafts, caroling and a worship service, all of which drew hundreds to town. Here, Frosty the Snowman waves to cars passing by the Tamaqua Community Arts Center while elves and other popular characters prepare for a stroll through downtown. DONALD R.
