Santa Claus Visits Asharoken Village

Asharoken got into the holiday spirit as Santa Claus arrived on Sunday for a visit at the new Asharoken Village Hall, where he spread holiday greetings and hearty “Ho, Ho, Ho’s” to all.  Santa and Mrs. Claus were greeted by Asharoken Mayor Greg Letica and Village Trustees as he arrived on his sleigh from the North Pole with the assistance of the Northport Fire Department.  Santa was warmly welcomed by Village officials, police, residents, and lots of happy wide-eyed children. Santa and his helpers distributed plenty of hot chocolate, cookies, oranges, lollipops, and candy-filled stockings.
