Description:
Color photograph of a fire truck in the Christmas parade.
Portion of the top half of a red fire truck is visible. There is a silver ladder on its roof. The fire truck has a white banner with the words "RY CHRISTMAS" visible. The letters are outlined in red and have green on the top half. There is an arm visible on the proper right. There are two women sitting on the top of the fire truck with their legs hanging over the side. The woman closer to the proper right has dark hair, a blue coat, blue scarf, grey gloves, and black pants. She is holding the lid of a thermos in her hand which probably has some sort of hot beverage in it. The woman closer to the proper left is wearing a multicolored beanie, dark coat, beige gloves, blue jeans, and black boots with red and silver patches. She is also holding some sort of cup. On the proper left, standing on the fire truck is Santa Claus. He is wearing the full suit and Xtra Tuf boots. He is a skinny Santa. His arms are extended from his shoulders. There is a man on the other side of the ladder that is also standing on the truck and is taking a photo with a camera. He is wearing a plaid shirt with a beige duffel bag hanging from his shoulder. The ladder reads "100 FT" in black lettering.
The man dressed up as Santa Claus is identified as "J. Kemp" on the piece of paper to which the photo was taped.
