Thank You Puslinch Santa Claus Parade!
The Optimist Gods must have been with us! The rain stopped long enough for the Optimist Club of Puslinch annual Santa Claus parade to travel down the streets of Aberfoyle bringing Santa to the kids. Lots of kids smiles and happy parents and grandparents got everyone in the festive mood! The music, floats, clowns, mascots, characters, police, fire and Santa, brought joy and made it a very special afternoon.
Santa Claus was his jolly good self and greeted each of the boys and girls with a big smile, picture and goody bag. Lots of Dear Santa letters were collected, 68 plus. 500 hot dogs, hot chocolate and special Christmas music by the Salvation Army band were enjoyed by all. 147 kgs of food was collected for the Food Bank. Extra proceeds and goody bags were donated to the Adopt a Family Children’s Foundation. Way to go Puslinch!
