Santa Returns To Radnor And Beyond

RADNOR, PA — Santa Claus will be back in Radnor Township area this holiday season after a couple of years of COVID-19 restrictions that made it nearly in possible for children to talk to Santa in person to make their case that they’ve been good boys and girls over the last year.
