Children lead a record crowd during the Friday Harbor Posada, a Mexican-style reenactment of Joseph and Mary's search for a place to give birth to Christ.

Joseph (Dick Barnes) pleads for shelter at an inn (InterWest Bank) for his wife, the Virgin Mary (Maggie English) during the Posada on Monday, December 20.

Joseph (Dick Barnes) implores another innkeeper to open his doors.

Don Galt feeds his burro Henry a well-deserved oatmeal cookie after the Posada.

Josh Wight takes a whack at a piņata during Posada festivities Monday night at St. David's Episcopal Church. His mother, Cindi Baker, offers encouragement.

Another child, above, takes a turn swinging at the piņata.

The piņata breaks and the youngsters scramble for candy.
