Kris Kringle on Flatbush Avenue

Santa in his elf driven Rickshaw rides up and down Flatbush Avenue

When was the was the last time you saw Santa in a Rickshaw riding up and down Flatbush Avenue?

Or, maybe…. When was your First time?   It was probably on December 20, 2008 when the North Flatbush Avenue Avenue BID local merchants donated  a driver, a Rickshaw and Santa Claus to ride up and down Flatbush Avenue from Plaza Street to Atlantic Avenue handing out candy canes to the children of the Park Slope/Prospect Heights area.

Then, like a Pied Piper, the children followed Santa along Flatbush Avenue to the warmth of the Avon Products store located at 229 Flatbush Avenue. Once inside, besides a beautifully decorated tree, the children had a chance to tell Santa what their christmas wishes were while sitting on his lap. The BID provided delicious hot chocolate and cookies for the children and their families.
