Santa Claus expects to visit Pullman neighborhoods next week
PULLMAN — Santa will be visiting Pullman’s neighborhoods next week.
The Pullman Lion’s Club is excited to welcome back Mr. Claus for another year. While St. Nick’s personal sleigh is being prepared for a busy Christmas Eve full of deliveries, the club has happily offered their own.
The club will lead Santa through each of Pullman’s hills, playing music and helping him hand out candy canes.
His trip will kick off at 5:30 p.m. Monday south of Larry Street on Military Hill and the Washington State University campus; Pioneer Hill and south of Center Street on Sunnyside Hill on Tuesday; north of Center Street on Sunnyside Hill on Wednesday; and north of Larry Street on Military Hill on Thursday.
Club member Les Davies said Mr. Claus is excited to meet children and college students in town. This isn’t the first time Santa has dropped by Pullman; Davies said the tradition began in the 1940s and 1950s and has continued with the help of the Lion’s Club.
“It’s something that everyone looks forward to,” he said. “We have club members in their 70s or 80s who remember Santa coming to visit them as a kid.”
