PUSLINCH – Though Halloween hasn’t yet arrived, Santa Claus has announced he’ll be in Puslinch on Nov. 26.
The Optimist Club of Puslinch announced the 28th annual Santa Claus Parade is taking place on Nov. 26 at 2pm.
The parade begins at the township fire hall, heads east along Wellington Road 34, turns south on Brock Road and then wraps up at the Optimist Recreation Centre (ORC) beside the Puslinch Community Centre.
The festivities continue in the ORC where the carols keep playing and the Optimist Club will be serving hotdogs and hot chocolate. Santa will park his sleigh then join the party at the ORC to hand out goody bags to the children and pose for Christmas photos.
Children are invited to bring their letters to Santa and post them in the North Pole mailbox. All letters with a return address will receive a letter back from Santa!
There is no charge for the event but donations to the food bank are encouraged and will be collected along the parade route.
“We are always looking for new musical bands, floats, animal friends, community groups, and local businesses to join in the fun,” organizers say.
Volunteers are always needed for crowd control and food donation collection as well.
For more information, please call Ken or June Williams at 519-763-0309.
It’s a fun event for the whole family and a great way to kick off the holiday season.
