Firefighters and volunteers with the Beaver Creek Volunteer Fire Department hosted Santa Claus, the Grinch and some elves over the Dec. 17-18 weekend as part of the fire hall’s annual food drive.

Families were invited to drop by the fire hall with food donations and to chat with Santa before the crew embarked on a tour of the community in a fire truck festooned with Christmas lights and playing carols. The truck went out to different parts of Beaver Creek on both nights.
