Santa Claus making pre-Christmas stop in Sparwood

Santa Claus himself is making a special trip to Sparwood to make sure local kids are on their best behavior before Christmas Day.

The Ol’ Jolly Maker will be taking a tour of the community on Dec. 17 starting at 5:30 p.m.

Babbo Natale has already arranged an escort with the Sparwood Fire Department since his reindeer have to rest up for the big night.

Sinterklaas will also be handing out chocolate bars to spectators he sees around the community.

Father Christmas and his transport team will start their tour at the fire department, but will make sure to visit every street in town.

The Weihnachtsmann’s tour route can be found here.
