Capturing the spirit of the upcoming holiday season, even Santa Claus is found shopping Saturday at the annual holiday arts and crafts fair, sponsored by the Putnam County Past Presidents Extension Homemakers Club at the Community Building on the Putnam County Fairgrounds. While Santa was busy checking out the items at the Woolyspinner booth of Elizabeth Van Hook (background) and her mother, Mary Van Hook, of Jamestown, four-year-old Norah Lawrence ponders which necklace she wants to purchase at PJ's Jewelry and Crafts as owner Peg Johnson of Cloverdale offers the Tinkerbell version which Norah eventually selected.
