The weather forecast is looking favorable–and seasonably chilly–for Santa’s pre-Christmas visit to Hellertown borough this Sunday, Dec. 17, when volunteers from Dewey Fire Co. will take him on his annual Santa Run.

The temperature is likely to be in the 30s and skies are expected to be partly sunny when Santa departs the fire station on Durham Street at noon to travel the streets of the borough, where families are invited to come out and meet him along with his helpers.
As in years past, Santa will attempt to visit every street in Hellertown, however, he may not always be able to do so due to the possibility of emergency calls and other factors.
Residents are encouraged to be patient and to listen for sirens, horns and Christmas music while keeping an eye out for the firetrucks, as there are no specific times when he will be on specific streets.
You may need to venture out and down to the nearest corner to see him.
Below is a list of the streets Santa plans to visit (by neighborhood):
Mountainview Section: Willow Road, Maple Road, Birch Road, Poplar Road, Elm Road, Juniper Road, Constitution Avenue
Southeast Section: Walnut Street, Cedar Road, Tobias Drive, Rentzheimer Drive, Ellen Street, Spruce Street, Henry Street, E. Magnolia Road, Northampton Street, New Street, Durham Street, Delaware Avenue, E. Saucon Street
