Beaumont's 'Operation Santa' Happening Sunday
Santa Claus will make an 18-mile journey through town this weekend, after being postponed due to foretasted inclement weather.

Beaumont residents are encouraged to head outdoors this Sunday to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus as he travels through the city to spread holiday cheer.
“He won’t be in his sleigh or with his reindeer,” city officials said of the annual event. “Instead, Beaumont police officers and fire fighters will escort Santa through the streets of Beaumont for a quick tour of our community and to spread holiday cheer before he returns to the North Pole!”
The event, dubbed “operation Santa” is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the police department. It was originally scheduled for Friday, but due to rain in the forecast, it was moved.
