It was a little chilly but still an entertaining day on Main Street in Milton. Thousands of people despite the cold wind and the snow earlier on in the day made their way to downtown Milton for its annual Santa Claus Parade. Over 50 floats made their way down Main Street to sing songs, dance, and promote a wonderful family oriented holiday season.
MiltonToday TV was there live online … I didn’t get a chance to go over and say HI but they apparently did a very good job broadcasting the parade online. I’ll have to go check them out. From where we were (in front of Knox Presp. Church) you could see the MiltonToday HQ. Milton’s parade gets better and better as the years go on and this one didnt disappoint. Mrs. Claus apparently needed some extra time to get her make up ready according to one of the parade marshals Colin Best but it took only about 2 hours for the parade be completed.
Troy’s Diner had an amazing float and a collection of dancers that knocked the socks off of a lot of people along the parade route. Speaking with Tiger Ali Singh at Troy’s later this evening, he said next year was going to be bigger … and better. “TIGER STYLE” as he put it. You know its going to be big!
The Shriners as always did an amazing job. Anthony now wants to see if he can ride those motorized scooters around soon. Im almost afraid of what he would do in one of those. The dancers from all the different groups looked cold but were still going strong at the half way point in the parade. The parade was full of energy and shouts of “MERRY CHRISTMAS” can be heard all over the route.
Here are just some of the pictures we took along the parade route. We had a fabulous time and congratulations to the organizational committee for another well done event.
