Children are lined up at the Cherrydale Volunteer Fire House on Lee Highway Sunday, Dec. 17 waiting for Santa. A faint siren is heard in the distance. "He's coming. He's coming." A motorcycle escort can be seen in the distance followed by a red fire truck closely behind. "There he is riding on the top of the fire truck!" Santa climbs down the long silver ladder at the back of the truck, opens his bag and hands peppermint candy canes to children standing on the side of the street.
