Santa stops at Monbulk

Monbulk CFA will be running its annual Santa Run on Christmas Eve, 24 December, from 1pm to 6pm.

Santa will be sitting on the back of the tanker as he goes around the streets of Monbulk, spreading the sweetness of Christmas with bags of lollies for the young ones.

The brigade’s captain, Glenn Hickingbathom, said locals can live-track Santa’s truck from their Facebook page.

“It’s always great to see all the smiling faces and people waiting out the front of their house or on the street corner for the truck to come when they hear the siren,” he said.

Hickingbathom said the Santa Run has become a yearly tradition that many families look forward to.

“It’s great to see kids, parents and families all out being happy and enjoying their time,” he said.

“There’s conversations that occur between our brigade’s volunteers and locals; because we are also part of our local community, it’s a great time for us to connect and put a face to the people who might help them one day.”
