Richmond Engine Co. 1

Santa Claus is coming to town on Saturday, December 19th, 2020. Starting around 7pm. Unfortunately due to the COVID19 pandemic, Santa's interactions will be slightly different this year from years past. This years event will be a drive by style event. We strongly encourage the community and our members to adhere to all CDC and New York State guidelines. We ask that the community follow social distancing guidelines and observe Santa and his crew of Elves from your sidewalk. As always the dedicated volunteers of Richmond Engine will do their best to bring holiday cheer to our community during these difficult times. We wish everyone a safe, happy and healthy holiday season.
