Dec. 11: Breakfast With Santa, Fire Truck Rides

Get yourself in the holiday spirit by visiting any one or more of several events happening in Lynbrook this weekend. And stay tuned for some of the holiday articles that will be up on the site later today.

Breakfast With Santa

If your children can't wait for Santa to come on Christmas Eve, why not visit him at Lynbrook's Breakfast with Santa, being held today at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. at the Knights of Columbus (St. Mary's/Maris Stella Council No. 2228), at 78 Hempstead Avenue.

A very limited number of tickets are still available, so come bright and early to have a chance at visiting the big man.

Fire Truck Rides

Then, head over to the Earle Avenue parking lot beneath the Lynbrook railroad tracks to take a ride on a fire truck, courtesy of the Lynbrook Fire Department.

Rides are free, and are held from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
