Ole' St. Nick shops in Babylon Village: Santa was on hand for the annual Old-Fashioned Nite of Shopping in Babylon Village. Inclement weather and high winds cnaceled the event scheduled for Dec. 1, but it went off without a hitch (except for the hitch on Santa's horse drawn carriage) the following week. See Page 3 for more photos by Janine Logan. Also see Page 8 for Santa's Visit to Lindenhurst Village.

This live entertainement, coordinated by the Babylon Village Arts Council, was a new feature of the event this year. Further north on Deer Park Avenue, children performed a scene from The Night Before Christmas in the former Fox Framing shop window.
