November: The Saturday after
Thanksgiving is the day for the Annual Santa Parade
and Fire Department Craft Show.
This parade is old-fashioned and highlighted by
horse-drawn carriages and wagons of all kinds.
Some of the most beautiful teams of horses in the
area make the trip to participate in this parade.
Bringing up the rear of the parade is none other
than Santa himself. He is available to take
Christmas orders at his house on the fireman's
grounds. Then stop into the "Blue Building"
for the craft show and a cup of coffee and snack!
