Santa to Visit Newtown on a Fire Truck Dec. 22

Santa will trade his reindeer for a fire engine on Dec. 22, when the Newtown Fire Association escorts St. Nick around the township and the borough. It's an annual tradition that Newtown children look forward to each year.

The festivities begin at 9 a.m.

According to the Newtown Fire Association, there isn't a specific route. Typically, Santa's tour begins in Newtown Borough. The fire truck reaches Newtown Grant and the northern section of the township later in the day.

The trucks escorting Santa use their sirens to alert residents of their arrival, so if you hear the sirens he's getting close.

In conjunction with Santa's visit, there will be a canned good drive. Residents can give canned goods to the last car in the fire truck procession.
