Operation Santa: Sterling East

Tonight (Friday, Dec 20th) Santa will FINALLY leave the North Pole at 6pm and soon after try to visit the areas around Sterling Park “East” of Sterling Boulevard, Woodstone, Rolling Ridge, Fox Creek, Chatham Green, Muirfield Woods, Woodland Village, Oak Tree, Spring Grove Farm, “Presidential streets”, Pembrooke, Providence Village, “Virginia places”, and South Townhomes.

Proposed route: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1cJya8dmSFhY67_bJaM76WKy1vUXiXgY

The link for tracking Santa during each event will be www.glympse.com/!SterlingSanta
You do not need to install the app, just open this link in a web browser.

Details can be found at sterlingfire.org/santa including links to proposed routes, coverage areas, and the full schedule.

Follow the Facebook Event for today at: facebook.com/events/1009710114243192
Be sure to click “Interested” or “Going” so you can get notified of any changes, and be sure to invite your friends and neighbors!

We will make every attempt to follow the route shown, however, we may have to make last minute unannounced deviations to the route based on time, accessibility, etc.

For everybody’s safety, please DO NOT attempt to follow Santa around in your vehicle. The streets are often congested with parked cars, there are people lined up to see Santa (including excited children), and Santa needs plenty of room and visibility to move around safely.

Last night at the firehouse, we proudly promoted Firefighter Russ Whiteaker to Technician!

This achievement reflects months of hard work, dedicated training, and Russ’s commitment to proving himself in this role. His crew couldn’t be prouder, and we’re all excited to see him continue to excel in his new position.

Congratulations, Technician Whiteaker! Well-deserved!

Thank you. My 1 year old truly lit up seeing all the lights, Santa, and the grinch. Definitely a great surprise for our family. ❤️

Is it just me? I don’t see any movement on the tracker…

Thank you for bringing the joy to Westover Terrace tonight and for all you do. Your service is appreciated more than you know. Happy Holidays!

We had fun watching the Santa and Scrooge drive-by. No kids, just my husband and me but we enjoy it every year. Calvert's Glen area.

Thanks! My kids and I love seeing Santa every year. The grinch was a great addition!

Why not Lindenwood Court tonight?

Thanks for cruising by Santa!!! Ya made this old lady and a whole bunch of kids so happy! Merry Christmas!!!!
