Bellmore Chamber kicks off the holiday season

Posted

The Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores continued its beloved tradition of kicking off the holiday season with the Annual Santa Visit on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Children enjoyed a free movie at The Bellmore Movies, thanks to owners Anne and Henry Stampfel, and Santa made his magical arrival by fire truck, courtesy of the Bellmore Fire Department.

Prior to his arrival at the Bellmore Movies, Santa stopped at the Stop & Shop on Newbridge Road, North Shore Farms on Jerusalem Avenue, Piccolo Ristorante on Sunrise Highway, and the Ace Shopping Center on Merrick Road.

As always, there was no charge to partake in the Chamber’s festivities, and there were plenty of giveaways to go around. Families were encouraged to donate a new, unwrapped toy, to be donated to those in need this holiday season — making for a great community event that uplifted the Bellmores and gave back to others.
