Christmas Tree Lane has come and gone.
Beautiful trees, awesome crafters/vendors.
Superb kitchen delicacies.
Santa.
Volunteers.
Visitors.
Firemen giving Santa a lift.
Community.
Visitors from as far away as South Carolina (that we know of).
Fun awards.
Money raised.
But, we could have raised more. We're blaming it on the weather. Rainy on Friday and too nice and sunny Saturday and Sunday. We needed sparkly Christmas-y snow (not a blizzard). Santa had very few children come to see him this year, and that was sad after he made the trip from the North Pole and trusted the elves not to taste test all of Mrs Claus' fresh-baked cookies!
Santa left candy canes behind for any and all to enjoy even after he headed north! There were still candy canes when the weekend closed down and the Parade Committee donated them to the Soup Kitchen in Meadville. Santa's candy canes, the treat that goes many miles.
We missed some of the regular folks who've been attending for over 34 years. We missed everyone who didn't make it.
We hope you all were ok and simply chose to catch up on yard work and still are taking your kiddos to see Santa at other venues.
We thank those who participated and attended and paid a mere $3.00 (ages 12 and up), $1.00 (ages 6-11), and even donated extra money for the Reindeer Red-Nose Award (the tree raising the most extra funds for the parade is the winner of that award)!! Those of you who dined on goodies created by Kitchen Krew, we thank you!!
Those funds go to keeping our annual parade alive, the parade that graces our streets during the Cochranton Community Fair each year, drawing in hundreds, thousands to the town and the fair. Our goal is to bring people to our amazing community!! You help us do that with your generous support!
You are all part of our community and our community fair parade! Did you know that you are part of our parade every year? You are!
Whether you donate individually, participate in Christmas Tree Lane, march in the parade, direct traffic, attend our Halloween display..... You ARE a part of our community!
Thank you!!
