Santa Claus will be making his pre-Christmas rounds in Centralia and Chehalis this week, collecting donations for the needy as well as handing out candy canes and safety information to good little girls and boys.

In Centralia, members of Riverside Fire Authority are hosting the visit that winds through the community from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. each evening beginning tonight and continuing through Thursday.

His helpers will be happy to accept non-perishable food items and new toys.

The sleigh will park at the end of each route each night and hang out until 8 p.m. where children can pose for photos with Santa.

In Chehalis, the Santa Mobile travels tomorrow night and Thursday night from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., arranged by the Chehalis Fire Department.
