Popping out to Pops' Xmas event

SANDUSKY — Many people attended the annual Santa parade event, taking place Saturday night throughout Sandusky. Like in years past, a fire truck led Santa Claus — played by Don Myers — weaved in and throughout northern portions of downtown Sandusky. The route ended at the home of Myers, 534 Meigs St. It's where he displays an illuminated outdoor train garden, known as Pop's Holiday Train Display, made up largely of K'NEX materials, which is free to view. "It is a good way for the Sandusky Fire Department to connect with the children of Sandusky in a non-emergency setting and allows us to spread some Christmas joy in the process," Sandusky fire Chief Mario D'Amico said. "Don is a wonderful giving man who enjoys spreading Christmas joy and connecting with his community." Throughout the holiday season, people can see the Pop's Holiday Train Display, sponsored by K'Nex & Firelands Plumbing, during the following times and days: • 6-9 p.m. Mondays through Fridays • 3-9 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays People can find the house at the corner of Garfield Avenue and Meigs Street.
