Santa took time out from his busy holiday schedule to take part in North Whidbey Fire and Rescue’s COVID-safe Winter Wonderland and Santa Sighting event Dec. 18. Children waved to Santa at a drive-thru at the Heller Road station and received candy canes from the big man himself. They also dropped off letters to Santa for a phone call later on from the jolly old man on Friday evening at the Heller Road Fire Station.
