Santa set to tour Town of Mills River in Mills River Fire Department fire truck
Santa Claus is coming to Mills River two weeks prior to his all-night Christmas Eve adventure around the world, and instead of his big red sleigh, he'll be coming in a big red fire truck.
According to a press release, Santa Claus will be making a tour around Mills River on Dec. 10, thanks to the Mills River Fire Department, in partnership with the Mills River Parks and Recreation Department and the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
Santa's tour in a firetruck from the Mills River Fire Department will begin at 9 a.m. and he's set to leave for the North Pole at 5 p.m., the release said.
Due to Mills River's size and mountainous roads, the fire truck will not be able to travel up each road in town but will pass through the Town’s main roadways and as many neighborhoods as possible, according to the press release.
For those not on the route, there will be chances to see Santa at designated "Santa Stops." These are listed below:
High Vista Country Club88 Country Club Rd.
Glenn Marlow Elementary School1885 Butler Bridge Rd.
North River Farms3333 N. Mills River Rd.
Mills River United Methodist Church137 Old Turnpike Rd.
Mills River Elementary School94 School House Rd.
Santa’s helpers will be on hand to give out candy canes to any children they see along the way. When the tour begins at 9 a.m. Dec. 10, everyone will be able to track Santa by GPS on the Town's website and on the Mills River Parks and Recreation Facebook page.
To signal his arrival in each neighborhood or to the Santa Stops, the fire truck will have the sounds of holiday music and sirens, and its lights will be flashing. For all the details on the Mills River Santa Tour 2022, visit the Town’s website at www.millsriver.org/santa or call Mills River Town Hall at 828-890-2901.
