GENTRY -- Children lined up to see Santa Claus during his annual visit to the Gentry Chamber of Commerce office on Gentry's Main Street on Saturday afternoon.

Santa, with the help of his elf -- 2018 Miss Gentry, Brently Wade -- passed out golden coins and goodies to children who came to see him.

While Santa heard many special Christmas requests, parents took the opportunity to snap Christmas photos of their children with Santa.

The event was sponsored by the Gentry Chamber of Commerce and member businesses, with Christmas treats supplied by McKee Foods.
