AVALON— On Dec. 17, at 11 a.m., Santa, with the help of his elves, will fly an IEX Helicopter loaded with donated gifts to Avalon, where deputies of the Avalon Sheriff Station will welcome him. The deputies will then escort Santa, his crew, and his bag full of gifts to City Hall, where he will distribute gifts to local children. Santa will take off from the IEX Helicopters’ Queen Mary terminal at 11 a.m. before landing at the Avalon terminal. The event is a collaboration between IEX Helicopters and Love Catalina.
