Santa's Coming!
THIS Saturday, December 15, A.D. Farrow Co. Shop at NorthStar - Santa Motorcycle Parade at Noon! Photos with Santa, Noon to 2 p.m.! (p.s. - Thanks to everyone who turned out to see Santa at A.D. Farrow Co. in Downtown Columbus this past Saturday! Of course you and your kids and grandkids can come see the Big Guy again at NorthStar if you wish!)

Riders Needed For Santa Parade!
We've got a list of riders, but the more the merrier! It isn't REALLY a parade, but more of a motorcycle escort for Santa Claus at NorthStar (see item above). We're looking for a dozen or so riders to bring their bikes just before Noon on Saturday, December 15. We'll gather at the far northeast corner of the parking lot (out of view from the kiddies) and then ride toward the building in a slow procession. Good opportunity to show off for your children or grandchildren! Send a note to darrisblackford@adfarrow.com if you want to be part of the line-up!

Breakfast, Santa & Remembering The Fallen ...
If you are thinking about joining in the Santa Parade (see items above), maximize your saddle time on Saturday, December 15, while doing some additional good. Meet at 10:30 a.m. at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant at I-71 & Rt. 36/37 (west side of I-71, across the highway from the A.D. Farrow Co. Shop at NorthStar). After breakfast, head to NorthStar for the Santa Parade. Following the parade and hanging out with Santa for a while, head down to Kingswood Cemetery on Rt. 23 (south of Polaris Parkway, right across the road from Highbanks Metro Park). Starting at 2 p.m., volunteers are needed to lay wreathes on the graves of U.S. military veterans. If you're interested in all or some parts of this, please write darrisblackford@adfarrow.com
