(KNSI) – Kris Kringle will cruise through central Minnesota later this month for the annual Sartell Santa Parade and Toy Drive.
Buddy Elf tells officials Jolly ol’ Saint Nick will be in the area for a scouting mission on Thursday, December 18th, and will swap his sleigh for a fire truck tour.
The Sartell Public Safety Department says the official route will be announced in the coming weeks, along with any other information. Santa has been making the rounds ahead of Christmas in the city since 2021, when the head elf was driven around on the fire department’s newest truck.
