Santa is coming to town to take orders this weekend. In Northeast Rural Flagstaff, he’ll be making 10 stops from atop a Summit Fire Department fire engine, beginning at the riding arena in Cosnino at 9 a.m. Saturday, December 15. Santa will continue on the fire truck at these stops: - 9:25 ~ Winona Bridge
- 9:45 ~ Fire Station No. 31 (the newest) at Townsend/Winona Rd. and Cosnino
- 10:05 ~ Station No. 32 at Koch Field Road
- 10:45 ~ Burris Lane and Highway 89 (California Marine Supply parking lot)
- 11:15 ~ Corner of Tyson and Margaret in Hutchison Acres
- 11:45 ~ Corner of Timberline and Leisure Lane in Timberline
- 12:10 ~ End of Sunset at NFS entrance in Fernwood
- 12:40 ~ Station 33 Firehouse on North Highway 89
- 1:05 ~ Cromer School Parking Lot
In his miraculous way, Santa will be appearing also on the other side of Flagstaff, at the Riordan Mansion, 409 Riordan Road, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. At this Arizona State Park maintained historic home, Mrs. Claus will accompany Santa and will read Christmas stories while Santa himself passes out candy. Also, you'll find featured performances by local school groups and musicians, craft time and seasonal refreshments. The charge for the Riordan Mansion visit is $5.00, or entry is free with an Arizona State Parks Pass. Santa apparently does not expect to tire-out after all that earlier activity because he and Mrs. Claus are scheduled to arrive at the Flagstaff train depot at 6:15 p.m. Saturday and then ride by horse-drawn carriage into downtown Flagstaff for a full evening of festivities in support of Toys for Tots party at Heritage Square. Read all about the Toys for Tots Saturday afternoon/evening event in the Arizona Daily Sun.
