Coplay: Community Plaza fundraiser is Dec. 9

There is a parade coming to the borough Dec. 11 - perhaps not as big as some parades, but one that girls and boys will be excited about. Santa will be on a sleigh, and Mrs. Claus will be at his side.

In keeping with tradition, Coplay Sports Inc. is holding its annual Santa parade, starting 10:30 a.m. and winding its way through every street in the borough. Along with favors for each child, Santa will deliver presents to kids whose parents brought the gift to Coplay Sports field house on Sixth Street. The special presents are to be dropped off at the field house 6-8 p.m. Dec. 9 or 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Dec. 10. The gifts are to be wrapped, with the child’s name and address included, and placed in a brown paper bag.

Santa will be accompanied by elves, clowns, the borough fire engine and a decorated camper playing holiday music.
