Santa Claus came to town

Anna Maria got an early visit from Santa this week as the red-suited one handed out gifts outside the Islander office in Holmes Beach, with a little help from the AMI Privateers.
It was another great evening of fun and all the shops opened up for the evening, offering free Christmas treats and specials for the many visitors. The Privateers, dressed in their usual pirate garb, were a real hit once again, and Santa was a busy man all night.
Santa Claus also will spend much of the day on the Island on December 13, when he will star in the Privateers' Christmas Parade, hand out gifts at the post-parade party at Coquina Beach and then put in an appearance at Christmas on Bridge Street from 5-9pm in Bradenton Beach.
The parade is scheduled to begin at 10am at Bayfront Park in Anna Maria City and head south, traveling through Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach to conclude at Coquina Beach.
After the parade, children and adults are invited to attend the Privateers’ party with Santa at Coquina, where Santa holds court on the group’s ship.
It promises to be another fun evening!
