Only A Few Days Left To Sign Up For Santa's Express

Popular program put on by Kensington Fire Rescue will close registration Oct. 27.

 

Santa is making stops early this year and he is teaming up with the Kensington Fire-Rescue looking for good girls and boys!

For a $25 dollar donation, Santa, assisted by firefighters from Kensington Fire-Rescue, will deliver your Christmas presents using a real fire truck!

The delivery address MUST be within the Town of Berlin.


Here’s how it works:

  • Step 1: Register and donation drop off IN PERSON.


Registration will take place IN PERSON from October 22 to October 27 at the Kensington Fire House, 880 Farmington Ave.

Registration times are as follows:

Monday – Friday 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturday noon to 4 p.m.

Please bring with you your $25 donation.

Once delivery dates and times have been set, rescheduling will be extremely difficult, so please be sure to provide any preferences at the time of registration.

  • Step 2: Drop off your wrapped gift for Santa to deliver:


Gift drop off will take place at the Kensington Fire House from November 12 to  November 17. Drop off times will occur as follows: Monday through Friday, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday noon to 4 p.m.

  • Step 3: Be on the Lookout for delivery dates and times.


Notification of delivery dates/times will be made by email and/or phone the week of November 5, after all registration have been processed.  While we cannot guarantee a specific date/time, we will do our best to meet any preferences provided during registration.

  • Step 4: Here comes Santa!


Santa will be making his deliveries on December 1 and 2, from noon to 8 p.m., December 3, 4, 5 and 7 from 6 to 8 p.m., and December 8 and 9 from noon to 8 p.m.

Now that you have seen our lists, please check it twice because we hope this information has made your holiday season so nice! Hope to see you at the registration.

If you have any questions prior to the registration period, contact us at either at our Santa hotline (860-828-7000 x6402) or by email at santa@kensingtonfirerescue.org

Merry Christmas from Kensington Fire-Rescue!

Berlin teachers' median annual salary is nearly $80,000, plus family medical benefits costing overRead More $20,000, plus the ability to retire at 55 years of age with summers off, winter and spring vacations, and virtually ever holiday known to man and woman, and a work day at the high school ending mid afternoon: not bad. Perhaps teachers salaries have little, if any, correlation to quality of education...huh?

Bill, you are correct on the motor vehicle laws an what should happen to drivers who break it.Read More There is also no law that people should eat food, but if they don't they will die.

Bill, pushed wrong button an send comment off before I was finished. My point is everyone has toRead More use common sense in all situations an that includes parents on teaching there children as well as motorists. There will always be motorists who disobey the law an that is why parents must teach there kids about how to be safe an sound an not just say well there are laws on that. Make kids aware that accidents can happen an motorists speed an just be careful.

ok, first i would like to apologize for going a little nuts, i was a little worked up last night.Read More again, i apologize. but i dont believe i called you any names, i did however refer to the word assume, which you did when you said people like me speed. one speeding ticket in 13 years of driving (when i was younger). and you are correct, loving family and children are values i have, thats why i try to take the responsibility of protecting them, and not leaving their protection up to someone else (speeders in this case). but i guess that liberals/sheep, wouldnt know about that, wanting and thinking that the govt or someone else will be there to protect them. like i said in the other comment section, dont rely on others for your or others safety, rely on yourself.
