Santa and all of us here at AVFD will be taking ALL precautions. We request you do the same! We are asking everyone to wear their masks. We WILL stop at every location with a kid outside, please do not congregate in one area! Please social distance from anyone not in your household.

We appreciate your cooperation with these guidelines. This is for our safety and yours!
