Scope and content
Wet weather did not delay Santa's arrival at the Tacoma Mall Shopping Center on November 26, 1965. He simply donned rubber boots and caught a ride with a Kent-based helicopter, an upgrade from the open sleigh. Santa is pictured waving a cheery hello to the smiling crowd of young and old. He had circled the mall twice before landing at the Tacoma Mall's main entrance on the south side and then marching to his throne at his North Pole mountain in the center of the mall.
