We're thrilled to express our heartfelt gratitude to Duke Energy Foundation for their remarkable $3000 donation to our VFT trail project, which brings us closer to realizing our vision of a raised walkway and viewing platform, thanks to supporters like them. This significant contribution moves us one step closer to reaching our $50,000 goal. From left to right are BSL Parks & Rec director Sara Dibble Goodwin, Mayor Jeff Winecoff, and Duke Energy Foundation's Pam Hardy. In the front, we're joined by BSL Friends of Parks & Rec's Amber Townsend, Kathy Curtis, and Mr. Flytrap, aka Dave Curtis, all united in making a positive impact for our community.

Happening tonight!

Ok fans here's the plan for the parade make up...

Tuesday the 9th, we will be driving Santa around the north end of the city. Starting around 6pm, Crews will be traveling around Frink Lake Dr and onto E. Boiling Spring Rd, around the areas on that side of the tracks, crossing the tracks and down Redwood to Juniper, and then around these neighborhoods to Spring Lake Park, where they will stop with Santa for roughly 45 minutes for pictures and visits with Santa.

Thursday the 11th will be the S Shore area, with a stop around the golf course for the Santa visit, and the Tuesday the 16th we will hit the south end, and stop by our station 3 on Fifty Lakes Dr for visits with Santa. We will remind everyone of the other nights as they approach.

During the Santa tours, you will see and hear the fire trucks coming around through the neighborhood. Unless we all converge on yours or your neighbors house all turned out and carrying tools, then this is likely what you are seeing and hearing. We look forward to being able to es**rt Santa around the city since we had to cancel the parade. Santa didn't want to have to get his suit all dried and cleaned after that. So he is hopeful after coordinating with the chief that this will be a good makeup for all the kiddos in the city.
