Redmond, WA – Santa and
his elves from the Redmond Fire Department will be visiting neighborhoods aboard
the Vintage Fire Truck every evening from Dec. 3 through Dec. 20. They will hand
out candy and collect non-perishable food, unwrapped toys and monetary donations
for Hopelink, a non-profit program working to end poverty in the community.
Santa
will visit the neighborhoods each night between the hours of 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
and his progress can be observed through the “Santa Tracker” website at http://gis.redmond.gov/Santa/. This site
also lists Santa’s upcoming routes and schedules for each evening in December.
Santa’s
sleigh and elves are made possible by the Redmond Firefighters Union, IAFF
Local 2829. The Redmond Firefighters Union will provide up to $500 in matching
donations. Please join Santa as he passes through your neighborhood and
consider a donation for those in need this season. Since it will be dark, make
sure children and adults dress for the weather and are more visible by wearing
reflective, light-colored outerwear.
More
information on Santa’s sleigh schedule can be found at redmond.gov/santa. We also encourage
people to look at the Facebook page facebook.com/RedmondSantaTruck
and submit photos of your neighborhood when Santa visits. This Facebook page
will also have up-to-date information on Santa’s location and any schedule
changes due to weather.
