Checking in with the big guy - Avery, Lainey and Alden Dougherty spent some time with Santa last weekend at his Hinsdale headquarters in Burlington Park. Each year the Hinsdale Economic Development Commission sponsors "Historic Holidays in Hinsdale," on two Saturdays before Christmas. The event includes gingerbread cookie decorating, horse-drawn carriage rides and, of course, visits with Santa.
