Santa Claus Makes Early Appearance To Help Preschools

LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4)- Santa Claus visited Colorado a little early this year to help raise money for preschoolers.

Several hundreds people participated in the "Christmas In May 5K" around Littleton's Ketring Park on Saturday morning.

Santa and CBS4 Anchor Tom Mustin hit the trail for a run along the lake for the fundraiser. All proceeds benefit the Great Escape Preschool and Littleton United Methodist Church.
