WHILE DANCER, PRANCER & Co are getting ready for Christmas, another special family of reindeer will be visiting Hedon on Saturday 10th December 2011.
Vivergo Fuels and the Town Council have arranged for the reindeer to visit Market Hill at 1:30pm on Saturday 10th December as a real pre-Christmas treat and event for all the family! A stall will be set up giving away festive mince pies and mulled wine!
This looks likely to be a fantastic event and a marvellous opportunity for children to see the real animals that now symbolise Christmas and Father Christmas!
All this talk about reindeer prompts that old quiz question: Now what are the names of Santa’s reindeer…? 1. Prancer, 2. Dancer, 3. Dasher,… I always get stuck at this point!
Anyone help?
NOTE: Before visiting Hedon our family of reindeer will also be spreading their Christmas cheer in Preston and Paull, on Friday 9th December, and in Bilton also on the 10th December, see HU12 Online…
Those who were visiting the Reindeer at Preston Community Hall on Friday, please note that there has been a change of time:
Fri 9th December – Preston Village Hall – 11am – 1pm
See Reindeer Roadshow
Vivergo Fuels want to make it known that the Reindeer family will also be visiting Preston, Paull and Bilton. Also the Mince Pies and Mulled Wine will not be sold as stated originally in this aricle – but given away free as festive treats!
Thanks Chris. I thought there was a Doc? Or was that one of the 7 dwarves?
No wonder I never win at quizzes!
They were Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donna and Blitzen – from an “Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas” written in 1807 by Henry Livingston Junior. Rudolph came much later in the famous song about his somewhat unusual proboscis!
