Dana Point’s Jolly Trolley rolled through town over the weekend, delivering cheer to excited children.
Aboard the trolley were Santa Claus, his trusty elves, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman, who visited with children as the trolley made stops at various parks. They had treats to hand out, collected letters for Santa and took photos with the kids.
