BARRE – The Barre Volunteer Fire Company provided an escort for Santa and Mrs. Claus on Sunday for the 12th annual Santa Express.
Santa and the firefighters made 35 stops and delivered presents to about 150 children. The kids were all able to spend some time with Santa.
The fire company sends out a letter in November, welcoming people to drop off gift-wrapped presents at the firehall and those gifts are then delivered by firefighters and Santa. People are encouraged to make a donation to the fire company if they get a visit from Santa and the firefighters.
Barre firefighters split into two different groups in transporting Santa and Mrs. Claus around town. They made their deliveries from 9:30 a.m. to about 4 p.m.
