Children and families lined the streets and the Depot Square Park in anticipation of Santa and Mrs. Claus during Friday evening's Santa Parade held as part of the Tamaqua Spirit of Christmas Festival. After flicking the switch to light the Depot Square Park, Santa and Mrs. Claus got back on the sleigh and traveled to the Tamaqua Community Arts Center, where they posed for online photos with the kids. Photos can be view for free on
