Successful parade

Dear Editor:

The Elora Lions wish to thank the many participants in this year’s Santa Claus Parade. 

We had over 35 companies, groups bands, in addition to four fire trucks and the Elora Legion Colour Guard. We are grateful for the extra time and effort of these local companies to make the parade as spectacular as it was. We would like to thank the generous residents who live along Sophia Street for allowing us to set up in front of your homes, and extra kudos to those who served hot chocolate to some lucky participants as they waited for the start time of the parade. To the many hundreds of spectators, thank you for coming out.

The Elora Lions have done this parade for many years and each year we try to make it better. We would like to have the whole parade route as free of vehicles so that all the children, young and not so young, can view the parade without having to look around a vehicle. 

The Elora Lions wish all a very merry Christmas; stay safe and take care.

Josef Van den Borre,
Elora Lions Club
