Area children gathered early in December to celebrate Sinterklaas Day, one of the activities in Orange City which helps usher in Christmas observances. Here, children gathered in Windmill Park to welcome Sinterklaas as he came into town with his helper Piet. Children and adults paraded to Town Hall for activities and treats. Photos of Sinterklaas Day activities and other holiday events can be found in the pages of The Sioux County Capital-Democrat.
