By Kevin O’Rourke
The Germantown Volunteer Fire Department will chauffer Santa Claus around town again this year. The GVFD reports that Santa has scheduled his ride through Germantown for Friday, Dec. 19 through Tuesday, Dec. 23.
“Santa will do his best to get down as many streets as possible,” according the GVFD website. “There may be nights where Santa may not be able to make it down to all the streets due to emergency calls, or the fire truck won’t fit because of cars parked on the street and or inclement weather. We ask that you continue to check the website or Facebook page for any changes.”
