<title>A heart as big as Santa&apos;s, and a real beard, too</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 19, 2012) For more than 45 years, an Ogdensburg man has donned his Santa suit and played a Christmas role that has brought much joy to himself and others. Duane Adams first played Santa when he was a soldier stationed near Saigon during the Vietnam War. Every season since, Adams has visited schools, hospitals, nursing homes and parades dressed as the jolly old elf. His Santa work begins in November and, like the real deal, he&apos;s busiest right before Christmas. He&apos;s always the guest of honor at Ogdensburg&apos;s annual Santa Claus parade. For Adams, most of the pleasure comes from giving back — he donates all his Santa earnings to local charities.Todd Moe paid him a visit during a day off, and found the beard, belly and generosity are all genuine.

<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 9, 2005) As if it wasn&apos;t enough that he has billions of kids to worry about... Santa is taking time out for photos with pets, all to raise money for Spay/Neuter/Now in St. Lawrence and Jefferson counties.

The last pet photo with Santa day is Saturday, the 10th, at The Pretty Puppy on Church St. in Alexandria Bay.
