NeAl and Karisa Hiemstra of Woonsocket smile for a photo with Santa, as their children, Hasten and Kapri, think about their Christmas wishes.

The Sanborn County Courthouse held their annual Christmas open house last Friday afternoon, complete with treats and cider, trees decorated throughout the building, a short concert by the community choir and Santa Claus making a pre-Christmas appearance.
The courthouse employees put on the event and the trees are decorated each year by local businesses and clubs.
