Santa Run 2008 was a huge success!!! Each night the Engine and Tower went out
toting Santa around neighborhoods in our first due. Crews were met by many appreciative
friends and neighbors. Kids eyes lit up when they saw Santa was making sure he
knew how to get to their house. Many thanks go out to all who made these trips a
rousing success!
