Across the country and around the world, Santa Claus has been recognized as an essential worker. The Winston-Salem Dash are assisting him with his essential work.
On Saturday the Dash will host their final installment of Drive-Thru Santa, a holiday endeavor devised for these pandemic-affected times. Though the name may bring to mind images of talking to Santa through an intercom while reading a list of gift options off a menu board, Drive-Thru Santa actually takes place at the Dash s home of Truist Field.

A DRIVE-THRU Santa experience is being held in Halesowen and is proving to be a big hit. Little Cornbow street in Halesowen will be transformed into a Winter Wonderland this weekend as Lifecentral Church, Halesowen BID and Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council Community Forum create an opportunity for families to meet the man himself in an innovative and covid-secure way. Guests will drive through festively decorated archways accompanied by live entertainment before being greeted with a gift from Father Christmas, with all proceeds from the event donated to Operation Santa Dudley. The idea has gone down a storm - with tickets selling out in minutes.

Rick Wilson with the Indianola Noon Lions tells KNIA News being able to organize an event like this after many of the usual Indianola Christmas activities have been canceled, and seeing the happy looks from children and families as they drove through to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, was such an overwhelming positive influence for the volunteers who helped make the event possible.
