NHC Fire Rescue, Wrightsboro hosts ‘Story Time with Santa’

WRIGHTSBORO, NC (WWAY) — With Christmas a little more than a week away, local first responders are bringing joy and festive cheer to families in the community. 

New Hanover County Fire Rescue of Wrightsboro Station 11, in partnership with the New Hanover Sheriff’s Office, hosted ‘Holiday Story Time with Santa’ on Saturday morning.  

There were no shortages of family fun activities, photo opportunities, and of course, stories read by Santa.  

Organizers say this event was a perfect opportunity for families to come together and celebrate the holiday season. 

“During the holidays it’s all about just enjoying each other and really building a community. When it comes to reading a story, they are able to learn. A lot of times during the holiday season we have a lot of cooking fires and things like that it’s an opportunity to go ahead and get that prevention and education out there,” said Britney Melvin, Community Coordinator.   

Melvin says Holiday Story Time with Santa is not just an event, it’s an opportunity to come together, share in the season’s magic, and create cherished memories with loved ones.
