New Kent holiday spirit

Above, participants tour the one-mile course at New Kent County's courthouse complex as part of the "Jingle Jog" held at the third annual New Kent Grand Illumination Sunday afternoon. Games, vendors, and a variety of entertainment headlined the three-hour event that signifies the beginning of the holiday season. Below, the New Kent Stagehands brighten the holiday spirit with Christmas carols, while at bottom, a number of guests flock to greet Santa Claus as he arrives on the grounds and mingles with boys and girls.
