Suggestions for enjoying the parade:

The scheduled time of the parade stops is a rough estimate, and may change due to traffic and/or crowds. Please arrive at a stop early to make sure you see Santa.

* Work with neighbors to make sure all cars are parked on one side of the street. The fire department’s trucks are wide, and need extra room to make it down the street safely.  Narrow streets with too many cars may be skipped over.

* Wait on the sidewalk or lawn until all trucks have come to a complete stop. Santa will get off the truck to meet with the children.

* Unfortunately, the Santa parade cannot stop for individuals. Head to one of the announced parade stops to have a chance to meet with Santa. 

* Do not call fire dispatch for updates on the parade. It distracts volunteers from performing an important job.
