Santa Makes His Annual Visit to Elmhurst Police Plaza

Elmhurst kids had no problem dealing with the cold to spend a few minutes with Santa.

The hot chocolate was flowing Friday as Elmhurst children braved the chilly night to spend a few minutes with Santa Claus.

Santa rolled up to Police Plaza in an Elmhurst firetruck for City Centre's annual tree lighting. Elmhurst's own police Chief Michael Ruth was on scene to escort Santa and his lovely wife, Mrs. Claus, to the plaza.

Do you have photos of the city's tree lighting? Upload them here.
