Marie Fiscella with her sons, Joseph, 5, Nicolas, 7, and Ryan, 18 months, stopped off to chat with Old St. Nick at the Merrick Chamber of Commerce's annual Santa visit last week.
Santa Claus kindly took time out of his busy schedule at the North Pole to swing by the Merricks last week in a visit sponsored by the Merrick Chamber of Commerce.
Families from across the Merricks lined up at the gazebo in Veterans Memorial Plaza to take pictures with – and request presents from – Santa. Indeed, a good time was had by all, and the Herald was there to catch the action.
