TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A horse-drawn coach carrying Santa Claus has delivered the governor’s Christmas tree to Cedar Crest.

The Topeka Capital-Journal  reports that Gov. Sam Brownback and his wife, Mary, were on hand Tuesday morning as the 9-foot Scotch pine arrived. The tree was placed on a stand and taken into a living room inside Cedar Crest, where it will be decorated.

Mary Brownback says the tree would be available for visitors to view during holiday open houses at Cedar Crest, which will take place from 1 to 3:30 p.m. each Monday before Christmas.

A second horse-drawn carriage delivered an 8-foot Scotch pine that will be placed in the governor’s ceremonial office inside the Statehouse after the Thanksgiving holiday.

About 25 people showed up to watch the festivities.
