Delphos, OH (WLIO) - Delphos had a special visitor Friday night to kick off the holiday season. Santa and Mrs. Claus rolled into town on top of a classic fire engine to as part of the Delphos Kiwanis Club’s Hometown Christmas. Besides jolly old Saint Nick, there were free hot dogs and hot chocolate, face painting, and fire truck rides. Kids were able to talk to Santa and hear a story from Mrs. Claus. This annual tradition is one of the Kiwanis Club’s favorite events, and despite having to alter how they had to do things the past couple of years, club members were glad to see hundreds of people come out to kick off the holidays.
“It has been a few tough years, with everything going on, with COVID etcetera,” says Cindy Metzger, Treasurer of Delphos Kiwanis Club. “So, this just gets everybody back out and back into the community to gather and celebrate and have fun.”
This is the 10th year for the Kiwanis Hometown Christmas.
