Santa to Travel the Streets of Bellingham This Thanksgiving Weekend
Nov 21, 2018 12:44PM ● By Pamela Johnson
Because of a miscommunication, while Santa will be present on the Town Common this Saturday for the annual tree-lighting ceremony at 5:30 on Saturday, it will not be the customary Bellingham Lions Santa. The Lions Santa is returning to his long-standing practice of travelling through town in his sleigh greeting kids of all ages. (Last year, the Lions Club tried parking Santa's sleigh at the Town Common for kids to visit with him, but they have decided to go back to mobile Santa this year, albeit a much more condensed route than in years past.)
Santa will drive down the streets listed below, but will stop only at the streets/intersections listed. He will remain at each stop for 10-15 minutes, or until all children at the stop have the opportunity to speak with him. The route for each day is listed below.
Note: At this writing, the forecast for Sunday, Nov. 25 is rain; if that happens, Santa's ride will be reschedule to the following Sunday, Dec. 2.
The Lions Club will accept monetary donations for the Loaves and a Fishes Food Pantry.
