The Hokendauqua Park & Playground Association extends warm holiday greetings to everyone.

The HPPA will again be sponsoring Operation Santa Claus during this holiday season.

Santa will begin his annual visit on Sunday, Dec. 16, starting at noon. In case of inclement weather, Santa will attempt to visit Saturday, Dec. 22, beginning at noon.

Once again, Santa's escort will be the Hokendauqua Fire Company, so if you hear the sirens, feel free to come out and say "hello" to Santa.

Let's hope we have great weather on Dec. 16, because Santa Claus will be rather busy that next weekend.
