Photo: Santa Brings Gifts To Town Board, With a Twist

An anonymous Santa stopped by Thursday's work session.

Riverhead town board members were all smiles when Santa paid a surprise visit during Thursday's work session.

Santa handed a gift to each town board member and left quickly, leaving Town Supervisor Sean Walter happily opening what he said he thought was chocolate.

Councilman Jim Wooten, however, was the first to note that that gift was actually coal.
