On December 14, Children's faces were expressing excitement when Qwik Stop Petro Canada was transformed into a colourful festive sight for Santa Claus' visit.
The big guy in red presented the kids with complimentary gifts and free photos with him.
Paul Rehill and Harvey Rao are the owners of this business. Rao said, “This was the second time we did this event. We do this to make kids happy. Santa arrived about 40 minutes late because I think he was at another event. We had a crowd of 50 people patiently waiting for him.”
