Santa and his side-kid the Candy Cane Kid came to the rescue in Robert E. Willis's "Christmas at the OK Corral" play.

The elementary school performance, held Thursday, Nov. 10, put a Western twist on a holiday story. Students dressed up, sang and acted for a cafeteria full of friends and family.

Willis also held photos with Santa and kept open the Gingerbread Shoppe, where students could buy presents for friends and family, open after the play.
