If you would like the Santa Truck to visit your home during the holidays, and live in the East Lake area, plan on registering on this day.

We plan our visits based on the number of children at the household, so have that information for us when you register.

If you can’t make it to our sign up, give us a call beginning November 13  (727-784-8668) from 8:00a.m.- 4:00p.m.  Monday through Friday. Ask for Marianne. Time slots fill up fast!

      Each year Santa Clause teams up with the East Lake Firefighters to deliver presents to the boys and girls in the East Lake area.  Santa rides on our fully restored 1961 American LaFrance Fire Truck and makes personal stops to children's homes.  If you are interested in Santa visiting your home this year, please read the following guidelines below to sign up.

    It is our pleasure to provide this fulfilling service to you each year.  The program has become so popular we have had to implement a few changes to handle as many children as possible.  We must ask that you follow the below guidelines in order to accommodate everyone. 

1.               1.     Gifts – one per child (shoebox size or smaller), with child’s name printed legibly on outside of gift.

2.               2.     Put all gifts for your Stop in one large BAG.   Wrap family gifts together, put in smaller bag, then place in the large bag.

3.               The BAG remains at your Stop. Hand it up to one of Santa’s helpers when the Santa Truck arrives.

4.               Please have your camera ready to take a “quick” family photo with Santa. We have lots of Stops to make and try to stay on schedule

5.               Block parties are encouraged.

6.               Designate one adult liaison per Stop to help Santa if he has any questions, needs help pronouncing children’s names, etc.
