1ST ANNUAL SANTA ’ S GIFT RUN
SANTAS ARRIVAL IN MILLCREEK
On a crisp December morning , the streets of Millcreek Township lit up — not just with festive decorations but with the beaming faces of children as Santa and Engine 923 made their way through town .
It wasn ’ t just another holiday event ; it was a moment of pure magic . Kids grinned ear-to-ear as Santa handed out stuffed bears , treasures that quickly became cherished companions , thanks to the generosity of Waldameer & Water World .
