The Sebago Lakes Chamber of Commerce welcomed the holidays with Santa’s Sunday afternoon whirlwind tour down Route 302. Beginning at the Chinese Auction, held at the Naples Town Office, Santa and his sleigh, along with his two elves, visited several area locations on their way to the tree lighting ceremony in Windham. With stops at Naples Shopping Center, Raymond Shopping Center, Windham Wal-Mart and Maine Bean and Bakehouse, this jolly old man was a sure hit with Lakes Region children.
