The Charlottesville Fire Corps, along with City firefighters and their families welcome our Hispanic neighbors and the greater community to La Posada, a traditional Mexican holiday celebration. The event includes a traditional enactment of a man and a woman seeking lodging. After knocking on three doors, the group is invited to enter the warm building for Spanish and English carols, hot chocolate, tamales and cookies, and pinatas for the children. Santa Claus just may arrive on a fire truck to hear the secret wishes of children of all ages. Fire safety information in English and Spanish is available, and attendees will be able to sign up for free smoke detectors. Ridge Street Fire Station. 970-3554.
