Firefighters To Escort Santa Through Upper Makefield On Sunday
In addition to bringing Santa to town, the firefighters will be accepting non-perishable food items along the parade route.

UPPER MAKEFIELD, PA — Santa will be trading his sleigh for a ride through town aboard an Upper Makefield fire truck on Sunday, Dec. 22.
Santa will begin his tour of the township at about 10 a.m., visiting a majority of the neighborhoods over the course of the day. Santa's elves will be tossing candy canes to youngsters along the parade route.
In addition, the firefighters will be accepting donations of non-perishable food for the Penndel Food Pantry, which desperately needs canned and boxed food items.
