The Knob Noster Fire Department (KNFD) held its Annual Santa Comes to Town event on Saturday, December 19, 2020. Due to current events precautions were taken to keep department members safe as well as our community members. As in every other event in 2020, COVID-19 was on the minds of your fire department and community. In most of our stops, family members wore masks as asked, and social distancing was maintained and observed.
During this event, KNFD transports Santa all over town delivering gifts to smiling children, as well as adults bringing much-needed holiday cheer to the community. Gifts are furnished by the parents of each child and those not receiving a gift are given a candy cane from Santa’s private stock. KNFD started this tradition roughly in 1990 with old Engine 1 and a very short list of deliveries. So when 2021 rolls around KNFD will have carried on this tradition for 30 years. 2020 produced 55 delivers not to mention all of the visits and stops to visit with all of the children on the streets. This has been one of our best years so far.
KNFD would like to also wish our brothers and sisters across the state a very Merry Christmas and the best for a prosperous and safe New Year. Remember mask up, wash your hands, and social distance. Be safe.
