Santa to visit, ride with GFD Dec. 16
In hopes of starting a new holiday tradition, the Greencastle Professional Firefighers Local 5125 will host Santa Claus at the Greencastle Fire Department on the afternoon of Saturday, Dec. 16.
Santa will arrive at GFD at 1 p.m. to embark on a ride around the city. Weather-permitting, the ride will be on GFD’s open-cab 1928 Studebaker fire truck. Otherwise, the ride will occur on one of the more modern trucks.
The parade route will be south from the firehouse on Indiana Street and east on Seminary Street, all the way to Wood Street.
From Wood Street, Santa will proceed east on Washington Street to Percy Julian Drive, then north to Shadowlawn Drive.
From westbound Shadowlawn, the fire truck will bear Santa back south on Indiana Street to the GFD station at 107 S. Indiana St.
Once back at GFD at around 2 p.m., Santa will be available for visits and photo opportunities with local children.
