South Walton Elf Ride

The 11th annual South Walton Elf Ride takes place Sunday, Dec 2nd, 2018 from 1:00-4:00pm. It's a local holiday adventure on bikes. Meet at the starting place in costumes and decorated bikes at Van Ness Butler, Jr. Beach Access parking lot on Western Lake Dr in WaterColor and make the trek to the SWFD's Fire Station at WaterColor Crossings. Participants will walk, bike or long board the 1.5 mile distance to the fire station on Hwy 395 at WaterColor Crossings. If you aren't able to make the trek you can meet up with everyone at the SWFD fire house party!

Participants are asked to bring at least one unwrapped gift to benefit the SWFD's Angel Tree Program. 

There will be prizes for Best Costume and Best Bike Decor! 

Bruno's Pizza will be served upon arrival. Santa will be there! Also, enjoy facepainting, refreshments, and fire truck tours! Come join in the fun of this family event to help kick off the holiday spirit. Children must be accompanied by an adult. For any questions please email swelfride@gmail.com. This event is coordinated by South Walton resident and Grand Elf Luke Thompson.

If you aren't able to ride in the South Walton Elf Ride then maybe you can participate in the SouthWalton Fire District's annual Angel Tree Program. For the 18th consecutive year, the South Walton Fire District (SWFD) is once again a proud sponsor of the Walton County Caring and Sharing “Angel Tree”. Each holiday season the Angel Tree is filled with names of children throughout Walton County that otherwise may not receive Christmas gifts without your assistance. This year the Fire District will receive over 300 angel names. For more information or to schedule a special time to select an angel name, please contact Robbie Lund, Administrative Assistant at Station 3/Headquarters, 850-267-1298, via email at rlund@swfd.org or visit our website at www.swfd.org .
