Santa arrives in Leamington along with 71 parade entries
By Mark Ribble The snow waited until the perfect time to arrive in Leamington on Saturday, November 29, as the annual Chamber of Commerce Santa Claus Parade made its way up Erie Street to the delight of thousands of kids of all ages. The cold night was highlighted by the sights and sounds of Christmas coming up the street but the predicted snow didn’t materialize until the final float — Santa’s float — arrived at the town hall. It was then that snow began to fall in earnest with a backdrop of fireworks going off to celebrate the arrival of the season. Some 71 entries took up all of Erie Street from its starting point at Georgia Avenue to the end point at the Leamington Fairgrounds. The entry judged the best overall was from the Leamington Portuguese Community Club. Best church or school was Leamington District Secondary School. Best small commercial went to Leamington Green Services. Best large commercial went to Big Bear Excavating. Best non-profit went to Point Pelee National Park. Best spirit went to Latin Art Collective. SUN photos by Mark Ribble More photos are on Page 11.
