Santa was back in the house on Sunday, the fire house that is.

Keizer Fire District hosted the annual Candy Cane Drive-Through, giving families the chance to drive through the winter wonderland inside the KFD bay, and receive a greeting and signature holiday treat from Kris Kringle. 

In all about 390 people came through, both in car and on foot, for their candy canes and to get a visit with Santa.
