Here Comes Santa!

The third annual eight-day Santa Claus tour through Middletown neighborhoods is scheduled to launch Wednesday night, with the big guy's sleigh first taking off down Turner Road, north of Wyatt.

Weather permitting, members of the  Fighters Association, IAFF Local 1933 will escort Santa as he makes his rounds to local neighborhoods to hand out candy canes, perhaps while finalizing his naughty/nice lists and checking them twice. 

Santa and his team of off-duty fire fighter elves are scheduled to visit each neighborhood and distribute candy canes between 4:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., weather permitting.
