Parade with ‘heart’

Dear Editor:

“Tractor Tires and Toys” rolled down the main street of Alma on Dec. 22.

Floats of all sizes and colours decked out with waving children and adults is the heart of Alma’s Santa Claus Parade.

Thanks to the OPP and traffic volunteers for ensuring the traffic flowed safely through the community.

The creative floats from our village businesses, enthusiastic community groups, those beautiful horses you’d like to pat, the massive machines dwarfing the spectators avoiding the manure spreaders, construction crews without hard hats, marching cadets from the Elora Legion and our hardworking politicians make it a special parade – and of course Santa, as he makes his last stop before he heads home to the North Pole.
