The Fincastle Volunteer Fire Department has released its annual Santa Run schedule, bringing holiday cheer to neighborhoods across the community throughout December. All Santa Runs will begin at 6 p.m., with route timing dependent on weather conditions, traffic, and call volume. The department notes that the schedule is subject to change in the event of emergencies or inclement weather, and any make-up dates will be posted on its official Facebook page: Fincastle Volunteer Fire Department – Company 4.
In addition to the nightly routes, families are invited to attend Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, Dec. 7, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Fincastle Volunteer Fire Department at 25 Vine Street, Fincastle. The event is offered at no cost, though voluntary donations are welcome.
