2008 December > Lakefield Santa Claus Parade

Lakefield kicked off the holiday season with their annual Santa Claus parade on November 16th. This parade is the first of the season in Peterborough County and it was the perfect day to think Santa as the temperature dipped just below zero and a light snow fall dusted the parade's pathway through downtown Lakefield. The parade route was filled with rosy cheeked children just waiting to get their first glimpse of Santa Claus. There were colourful and creative parade floats on hand like Roto Spa who had folks right in the hot tub and also, the Lion's Club who were thinking ahead with their Christmas turkey cooking on board in the woodstove for a dinner later in the day.
