Reader here!
Remember last week, how I said I’m slowly getting into the Christmas spirit, even though there’s pretty much no snow on the ground? Well, the holiday cheer is flowing through the veins a lot more now!
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to drive our decorated station vehicle in the Legacy Co-op Santa Claus Parade, put on by the Yorkton Business Improvement District.
It was a fantastic time, with the parade getting going a little after 5 p.m.. This time of year means it’s already dark by then, so all of the floats were lit up and looking great.
Speaking of the floats, there was somewhere in the neighbourhood of 70 entries in the parade, which was great to see, and a lot of creative floats at that. I wish I had gone around and snapped some photos before the parade got going.
But the best part of the parade? Seeing a TON of people lining the parade route along Broadway Avenue! This was my view of the parade!
There were so many smiling faces, and it was great being able to wave and wish everybody a Merry Christmas! How do you not get into the spirit of the season when you get to experience that?
That was my view of the parade route, in a tidy 18-second timelapse video!
I think it’s safe to say now that the Christmas season is truly upon us. The decorations are on the light standards around the city, and the Santa Claus Parade is in the books.
Not only that, but on Friday, the Yorkton Salvation Army kicked off its Christmas Kettle campaign, working to raise money to put together Christmas hampers for families in need.
Unfortunately, with the rising cost of living, many families are feeling the financial pinch, and the need for the Food Bank continues to grow.
