Flying Santa Visits
Pemaquid Point Lighthouse
|
|
| |
|
On Saturday, December 9, the Flying Santa arrived at
Pemaquid Point in Maine. It is a long-standing tradition for Santa to
fly over the coastal lighthouses of Maine and deliver gifts to the
lighthouse families. This year we had one of the largest turnouts ever
from the families and neighbors of Pemaquid Park. Santa now lands in a
helicopter and delivers gifts and candy to the children thanks to the
efforts of the Friends of Flying Santa, who work to keep the tradition
burning bright.
After Santa passed out gifts to the children, parents and
children alike gathered with him at the helicopter for a wonderful group

commemorate the event. The snow that we had received the day before made
the scene even more seasonal. The Town of Bristol did a wonderful job of
maintaining the safety of all who attended, and the sun even managed to
break through just before Santa arrived. His parting words were "Merry
Christmas to all!"
