Ridgway residents Gavin Joseph, center, and Carson Mathis spend some time with Santa Claus in the gazebo at Hartwell Park during Noel Night festivities on Dec. 6. The 6-year-olds were among dozens of kids who lined up to share their Christmas wish lists and take photos. The annual Noel Night also featured a tree lighting in the park, carol singing and a parade. Holiday festivities then shifted to Ouray on Dec. 7 for the city's annual Yule Celebration, which also featured a tree lighting and parade, along with storytime with Mrs. Claus.
