Downtown Sapulpa Turns On The Lights For Route 66 Christmas Chute

Sapulpa is ready for the Christmas season!

The town flipped on the lights for The Route 66 Christmas Chute on Thursday. Santa and his reindeer even paid an early visit to Oklahoma for the event. The city spent two years planning the Christmas Chute, which has different themes for different parts of downtown.

"Our theme was Route 66. So we start at Chicago, and we all go on this side, all the way down to California. And then you go the same from California all the way back from west to east. We have all our landmarks on our signs up here," said Miona Taylor of Sapulpa.

The city says the area will host events every weekend leading up to Christmas.
