DSC_1147With Engine 62 as his special sleigh, Santa Claus led a fun parade through Rosemont south of Kiefer Blvd. on Tuesday evening, and he promised to return on Wednesday, December 9 to visit all the boys and girls north of Kiefer. This annual tradition, sponsored by the Rosemont Community Association, also collects toys for needy kids in the area. It is a wonderful chance to help kids here understand that children elsewhere are not so fortunate. RCA is most grateful to the crews at Station 62 on Bradshaw, and to the many “elves” who walked the parade route passing out fire safety information and candy canes, while collecting toy from the hundreds of families who came out to watch the parade. This event is just one more example of why Rosemont is a great community! See the accompanying story to view the route map for Wednesday’s parade.DSC_1212
