Just wanted to confirm that Santa's sleigh did not come through Broadstone last night, correct? The FPD info. line said nothing about officially postponing (just a general message) so we sat at the park at the Tippens/Bundrick stop for a little while but figured it was too rainy/windy for him to come. Anyone know when he will be coming by Broadstone this week? Thanks for your help. :-) P.S. We were not here last year...about what time does he come around to this neighborhood?

Yep, I was expecting the blaring sirens and horns, but it never came.
I have opinions, you have opinions. We'll just call it even...is that OK ??

Make-ups are scheduled Dec 17-20, probably the first of those with no rain as I think last night was the first missed night.
I would rather be Backpacking

This is what happened last year. They were scheduled to come through my neighborhood on a Tuesday and ended up showing on the Sunday before when we weren't home. Yes, they showed up 2 days early...maybe they were predicting the weather for Tuesday? Who knows? I don't hold my breath. If we see them, we see them.

They always have come on our scheduled day. We were the last scheduled stop Saturday night, and they came around just before 9:00pm. The kids loved it!

Thanks everyone for the info. We aren't close to the designated stop, I guess that's my only concern...we'd have to make a total run for it if we weren't prepared (we're closer to Clarksville by the Sports Complex). We'll just have to keep our eyes and ears peeled! Merry Christmas!

They came by here on the scheduled date, but they blew thru so fast this time that we barely got a chance to run out for our candy canes. I guess there's too much to cover in too short a time. It wasn't worth it this year.

You aint kidding. He flew by way too fast. I am surprised all those cops around him didn't hand out a speeding ticket!!

They came by us - Lexington Hills - last night around 6. They were going at a decent pace for seeing - not too fast like others were saying. I thought it was great and confirmed why I moved here - this is a great town!
