Two local Santa Claus parades on Nov. 27, one in Sydenham and one in North Frontenac sparked off the holiday season and both received a pleasant sprinkling of the white stuff thrilling watchers with the first sightings of what hopefully is in store for these holidays.
In Ompah parade-goers sat down to a lunch and treats courtesy of the Ompah community hall ladies, and elfin helpers assisted children with Christmas crafts while a chilly Santa, who lost his hat en route to the hall, handed out gifts to all the girls and boys.
The North Frontenac parade, once known as “the biggest little parade”, was started by Alice Davies. Though the route has since been shortened participants here are some of the toughest float goers you will meet and a brave crew sat and waved for close to an hour and a half as the parade wound its way along the wind-swept roads from the fire hall in Plevna to the Ompah Community Hall.
