Living Legend
Here is Louis Charpentier, known for decades in Leominster as Father Christmas. Every Christmas season Louis welcomes thousands of visitors to his front lawn to admire his hand carved Christmas displays. Every year he has a new one up.
This was a popular booth at the holiday stroll making it difficult to get this picture. Louis was answering questions while carving mice and handing them out to children. He uses styrofoam for all his carvings. Louis recently celebrated his 98th birthday

On standby for the holiday stroll is Leominster's finest the Leominster Emergancy Managment Team. Hopefully they were not needed at all.

Here we have Mayor Dean J. Mazzarella of Leominster roasting chestnuts and handing them out to the crowds.
