Pause for the Claus
For 98 years, the folks in Santa Claus, Indiana, have helped their town's namesake ensure that every child's letter to Santa receives a personal reply.

When Eric, our special events director, notified the staff there would be a brief fireworks display being testing in the Raven Parking lot last week, he never dreamed how short the show would be.
Our fireworks vendor didn't waste any time starting - or ending - the demo. Communications manager Nathan had some fun saving the moment for posterity.
