Native Sons Hall was a busy place in the morning on Dec. 1 as part of the Downtown Courtenay Christmas event, which included the parade during the afternoon. There was plenty for sale at the Gnarly Christmas Craft Fair, while Captain Thunderpants entertained the kids before Santa and Mrs. Claus made their arrival to pose for pictures.
