BLUE RIDGE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES BREAKFAST WITH SANTA AND SANTA RUN TIMES:

The Blue Ridge Volunteer Fire Department will hold its annual Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, December 7th from 8:00 AM until 11:00 AM.  Santa will arrive at 8:00 AM and be available until 11:00 AM for the children to visit with him.  Parents should come prepared to take their own photos.

The pancake breakfast is a fund raiser for the Blue Ridge volunteers and includes pancakes, sausage, milk, juice or coffee.  The breakfast cost is $5.00 per person.  The visit with Santa is free to the community and enjoyed by all.

After the breakfast, beginning about 1:00 PM, Santa will ride on the fire truck through the Blue Ridge community (rain date for the Santa Run is December 14th).  The schedule for Santa will move through the neighborhoods in order.  You can watch our FB page for updated posts or use the following approximated schedule to plan your visit.  Listen for the fire truck sirens!

We will make every effort to visit as many neighborhoods as we can this day.  For SAFETY, please keep children back from the road until the fire truck has completely passed.
