The Guthrie Center Volunteer Fire Department is once again helping Santa Claus get his night started on Christmas Eve, with the Great Santa Send Off.

The Department will take Santa around town on a parade route beginning at 6pm, starting at the fire station and looping through the streets of Guthrie Center. A map of the parade route can be found on the GCFD Facebook page. For those who don’t live on the route, or those who live outside of town, there is parking available at the aquatic center. The free event is open to those who want to enjoy it, as Santa gets ready to make his journey around the world.
