Above, Zealand Higgs, 4, and Angus Higgs, 1, of Sequim chat with Santa Claus — who looks suspiciously like Joe Borden — at the Home Town Holidays event at Centennial Place on Nov. 30. The free event hosted by the Sequim-Dungeness Chamber of Commerce featured Santa arriving by horse-drawn carriage, music provided by the Sequim City Band and Sequim High School jazz band, plus “Small Business Saturday” offerings from local merchants, a tree-lighting ceremony and a lighted tractor parade organized by Sequim Museum & Arts. Right, Wayne Priest stands in front of his tractor prior to Saturday’s Lighted Tractor Parade through downtown Sequim. Sequim Gazette photos by Michael Dashiell
