Santa Run set for next three weekends

An annual Peachtree City tradition cranks up again Saturday at 9 a.m. as local firefighters escort Santa Claus through the city, collecting canned goods for the needy along the way.

For the next three weekends, Santa will whisk through local neighborhoods on top of a fire engine. Children will be alerted to Santa’s presence not by reindeer hooves on the roof, but the blare of the fire engine’s siren.

Although the jolly old elf won’t have time to stop and take requests or pose for photos, his helpers will collect canned goods left on the curb by local families.

Here is a listing of the subdivisions Santa will pass through, in order:

• Saturday, Dec. 4, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. — Crabapple Woods, Ardenlee, Sagamore, Belvedere, AMLI West, Georgian Club, Newgate Road, St. Simons Cove, Albermarle, Sutton’s Cove, The Point On Lake Kedron, Larkin’s Landing, Cottage Grove, AMLI East, Kedron Hills, North Cove, North Hill, Smoke Rise Plantation, Stoney Brook, North Peachtree Estates, Interlochen, Greer’s Mountain, Southern Trace, Lexington Park.
