In Chehalis, the so-called Santa Mobile will be traveling its usual annual route starting near Southwest 13th and 16th streets.

Chehalis Firefighter Steve Emrich advises Santa and his helpers will distribute candy canes along with safety information. Donations will be collected for the food bank.

In Centralia, Santa’s sleigh should be found throughout the Edison District until 9 p.m.

There, he and his helpers will be collecting donations of new toys as well as items for the food bank, according to Riverside Fire Authority’s Judith Emler.
