All aboard to see Santa

SANTA will be swapping his sleigh for the bus when he comes to Dumfries later this week. He will be hopping aboard a Stagecoach electric bus to visit the Whitesands on Thursday from 4 pm. And local children are being invited to visit him , and his elves, in his travelling grotto for free and to receive a special gift. Mr Claus will also be wearing his traditional green suit, keeping his red one clean for doing his rounds. To bag a free ticket, go to www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/stagecoach-west-scotland-37762297593. Donations are also being taken for the Night Before Christmas Campaign.
