PHOTOS: Santa visits with hundreds at Keizer Fire Candy Cane Day

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.
