Residents who stopped at the Ada Public Library on Monday's Merry on Main celebration met Dancer and Prancer.
The other six reindeer and hero Rudolph stayed at the North Pole to be sure all was in readiness for the 25th.
Here, PJ Hull, herself dressed in Christmas finery, pets Dancer. The reindeer arrived from Larue, Ohio, where 11 reindeer now reside.
The reindeer, known for their big antlers and ability to fly over rooftops, make about 50 appearances between Thanksgiving and Christmas, thrilling children and adults alike.
