An annual tradition continued in 2010 with the Santa Run through the Flourtown Gardens area of the Township. Held each Christmas Eve for over 50 years the community has embraced the trek of St. Nick through the neighborhoods and parties and family reunions are actually planned around it. Originally conceived by Rosemary Samtmann and Lou McGettigan in 1957 the Run has grown in popularity and children of all ages enjoy welcoming Santa and Mrs. Claus on the rear of Ladder 6 each Dec. 24th. A similar run happens in Erdenheim on the Sunday prior to Christmas yet is much younger having started in 2000. Photos by Bob Wilmot, Jr.
On September 10, 2010, Flourtown Fire Company gathered for a cocktail party and celebration of “A Century of Service.” During the ceremonies, the bell from 1910 was unveiled, restored and mounted on a new stand for everyone to enjoy. Also unveiled that evening was a plaque now mounted to the front of 1526 Bethlehem Pike that read “A Century of Service” 1910 – 2010 “In Commemoration of 100 Years of Volunteer Service.”
