The Slatington Rotary Club joined with the Northern Lehigh Recreation Authority in hosting a Sixth Annual Candy Cane Hunt. Eleven members of the Northern Lehigh Interact Club volunteered to set up Santa's "greeting area." Together they decorated the Slatington amphitheater. The Interactors monitored Santa's line, walked kids up to him, handed out candy canes after kids talked to Santa, monitored the hunt area to make sure no one entered the area before the hunt started, distributed prizes to the kids who found special candy canes, and, most importantly, cleaned up the park so they left no trash behind. 

Rotary Club members who volunteered included Eric Heiney, Marc Grammes, Angela Williams, Tim Silliman, Ingrid Holder, and Steve Strack's family.  Eric Heiney’s father was Santa and his daughter Kendall, the Interact president, sat on his lap. The kids who met Santa sat on a bench next to him to encourage social distancing as best they could.
