Things started right on schedule with the arrival of Santa Claus by dog sled shortly before 3:30 and continued at a fast pace for the next two and a half hours. Around 6 p.m. the last gift was claimed by one of the high - spirited, thoroughly chilled throng which, depending on personal stamina, came and went during the afternoon but was unoffic ially estimated to number close to one thousand at the peak of the proceedings. The rule that you had to be present to win was strictly ad hered to, although after many presents were still unclaimed after the second round ofdraw- ings the rules were relaxed and those holding tickets with only several matching digits were declared winners.
