North Pole? Nope, it's Mattapoisett!
The sixth annual Holiday in the Park Dec. 3 brought out the town and a few seasonal visitors including Santa and Mrs. Claus, Rudolph and Frosty the snowman.
Hundreds of residents gathered under the big white tent for decorating ornaments, sampling foods from local restaurants and getting a chance to talk with the Big Man himself.
According to town web administrator Dan White, this year's tree was the biggest yet.
