The Pierceton Fire Department will escort Santa Claus through town to the community building for his annual visit at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 20. All area children and their families are invited to come meet Santa.

While waiting, attendees are invited to decorate and eat some Christmas cookies. There will also be hot chocolate and popcorn, all courtesy of the Pierceton Lions Club.

(Remember to send your Santa photos to StaceyPageOnline.com to be included in our upcoming special Christmas video! We are welcoming your submissions of funny, sweet and certainly memorable photos of children with Santa, teens with Santa or even loved ones who are no longer with us. Whatever photo you have with Santa, share it with us and we will include it in a slideshow similar to the one above.

This year, we are also welcoming photos of your favorite fur kids with Santa, or just getting into Christmas mischief. Email photos to [email protected] no later than Sunday, Dec. 22.)
