Santa Trades Sleigh For Fire Truck To Visit McDavid Area Children

December 18, 2011

Santa Claus traded in his sleigh Saturday for a big red fire truck as he visited boys and girls across the McDavid Fire Department district. The Jolly Old Elf stopped at children’s homes, visiting with children and listening carefully to those last minute Christmas wishes.

The McDavid Volunteer Fire Department has provided the Santa escorts for about 20 years.

    When I was young my Dad was the Santa on the Christmas truck. (He was a VERY real looking Santa…of course I am prejudiced!) I found out later on when I was older, but he loved doing it and the kids got a huge kick out of it. There were some kids in the mining camps that were very poor and that was their only Christmas. I often wonder what happened to those children, if and how they grew up, and I hope someone does Santa for ones there now!!!
