VIRTUAL – The History of the Flying Santa of the Lighthouses, 1929-2025, with Jeremy D’Entremont
Monday, November 3rd, 7:00 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The aerial visits of the Flying Santa to lighthouses and lifesaving stations have been a New England tradition since 1929. The program was inaugurated by Bill Wincapaw, a pioneering Maine pilot. Edward Rowe Snow, the popular New England historian and storyteller, became involved in the 1930s and kept the flights going through 1980. Today, the nonprofit organization Friends of Flying Santa works to continue the flights as a gesture of gratitude to the men, women, and families of the Coast Guard who keep watch over our coastal waters. Thousands of hours are volunteered each year to ensure the success of the helicopter flights that include the children of Coast Guard families from Maine to New York. Presented in partnership with the Ashland Public Library.
Register HERE.
