2011 Holiday Hustle 5K Run Highlights

Letter to Santa: I don't know if this will get to you...but I wanted to say thank you to Santa for today. My 4 year old son saw him at the gazebo. My son is timid but very much wanted to see Santa and so he decided to bring his Thomas the Train catalog in case he was too shy to talk to him. Santa was so sweet and it amazed me that Jonathan climbed up in his lap. Santa took the time to look thru the catalog with him. It made me a little weepy...it was so sweet. He was the most perfect Santa ever. And Jonathan talked about it all day. We have only lived in Dexter for a year and it is because of days like this that we love living here.

Thanks so much for making my son's day. Sincerely, Beth S., Dexter, MI
