Posted 11/25/12 – The Sierra Madre Chamber of Commerce hosted Who Ville in downtown Sierra Madre to kick off the holiday season yesterday. There were snow sled runs, a train ride for the kids, horse and buggy rides, non-profits selling items as fundraisers at their vendor booths in Kersting Court, and visits from Santa and the Grinch. Santa and the Grinch also joined Mayor Pro Tem Nancy Walsh in lighting the Christmas tree in Kersting Court. Enjoy the photo gallery and the videos (pictures below the videos).
