Colleen Wilson, a volunteer with Keep Hardin County Beautiful, plays the piano while guests visit the Milks home on South Johnson Street during the Candy Cane Tour of Homes held on Sunday afternoon.

If you missed the tour of two places in Ada (The Inn was the second Ada stop), then you'll have to wait for two years for the next tour. Keep Hardin County Beautiful organizes a tour of homes in the county every two years. This year's venues also included five homes and businesses near Kenton.

"Here, Santa, do you want a banana," Cullen Callahan, 4, seems to be saying.

The exchange took place during Breakfast with Santa at The Inn on Saturday morning.

Cullen is from Lima; Santa is from the North Pole.

The Sold Out event drew 70 youngsters and family members for a festive buffet, a gift from Santa, and a photo with Jolly Old Saint Nicholas. Santa also listened to the children's wish lists.
