Throwback Thursday: This week 25, 50 and 75 years ago.

Dec. 28, 1950

Santa was the most popular man in town when an estimated 2,500 youngsters and adults were there to greet his arrival in a bright red fire engine. He passed out packages of fruit, nuts and candy in front of the city’s big Christmas tree on M Street, and found time for an occasional chat with big-eyed children or to voice his disapproval at youngsters who accepted second and third helpings.

Dec. 24, 1975

Big Red (Santa) and the Dogbite Fairies (presumably elves) from the high school spread cheer throughout town by handing out candy canes and greeting people on the streets. The people behind the merry costumes were never identified.

Dec. 27. 2000

Volunteers planted “Celebration Trees” at the Jim Riggs Community Center in honor of Jim Riggs, Gloria Riggs, Frances Hughes, Winnie and Guy Mansperger, Catherine Skiens and Larry Blem.
