​     This just in from the North Pole! Santa Claus is going to use his magic and make an appearance at Bushkill Township Volunteer Fire Company. Santa will hand-deliver gifts to your children by riding around on holiday-red fire truck. Mark your calendars for December 14th, 2024 and fill out the application to have us visit your home!

     The Santa Run will be performed on December 14th, 2024, starting at 8am where Santa will come around the community on a holiday-red fire truck and hand deliver a gift to your child/children.

With the overwhelming amount of residents signing up, it is not possible to give an exact time as in past years. We will announce the routes to use your best judgement on when we will arrive.

     Residents will be able to drop off pre-wrapped gifts with children's and/or pet's names & addresses clearly marked on the following Monday nights; November 18th & 25th and December 2nd, 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM. We will also collect gifts on Wednesday December 4th 4:00 PM-7:30 PM and Saturday December 7th from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM. The drop-off location will be inside the social hall foyer. Please note that December 7th at 12:00 PM will be the deadline to enter for 2024, sorry, no exceptions can be made as routing will be made soon after. 

     Due to overwhelming demand and scheduling, we have to limit our stay to 5 minutes per house and 10 minutes at each "group" stop. We will still be able to take pictures!
