Santa always finds a way...

Being 1,749 years old, Ol’ Saint Nicholas has to take as many precautions as necessary to avoid the coronavirus. However, to keep the tradition of visiting with the children during his annual visit to Snohomish this past weekend, the jolly old gent sat himself behind glass in the storefront window of Randolph Cellars on First Street and used walkie-talkies to hear from children who came to see him. Avery Heath, 6, of Snohomish, tells Santa her wish list over a pink radio while Santa listened on Saturday, Nov. 28.

Snohomish Fire District 4 explorer Tyler McCleod, 16, of Snohomish quickly removes the cap to a hydrant so as to connect the hose to it while competing in an annual Fire Explorer Muster at the Fire District 4’s training facility on Saturday, Nov. 7. Typically, fire explorers throughout the state meet in late spring for a friendly competition, however with COVID-19 restrictions in place, the annual “Muster” moved to November, with several smaller events held at the same time. Each event was connected via a live-stream feed. Saturday’s event in Snohomish had explorers from the Snohomish Fire Dist. 4 post and the Camano Island Fire post. Fire explorer posts are sponsored by fire departments and open to males and females ages 14 to 21. Monroe has one, too.
