With snow on the ground and Jack Frost nipping at the noses of parade goers the scene was perfect for Bucyrus’ annual Santa Parade.
Starting at 6 p.m. at Bucyrus’ City Hall floats, marching bands, and Christmas characters such as the Grinch paraded up Sandusky St. passing out candy and delivering holiday cheer to those in attendance
Connor Page attended the event with his family including his grandma who travelled from West Virginia. Page explained his favorite part of the parade.
“It was probably the Grinch when he passed by,” Page said.
Dave and Elizabeth Wurm attended the Santa Parade to get their kids out of the house; Dave explained their favorite part of the parade.
“Just seeing so many people coming out for the parade,” Wurm said.
Mother and Daughter Beth and Heather Howlett attended the parade together.
“We came out to support the local businesses, and also just to have a good time,” Heather said
“We come every year it is a tradition with us. We come, mother and daughter every year, we enjoy all the stuff and get in when we need to get warm,” Beth said.
The Parade was headlined by Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, who left the reindeer back at the North Pole, and traversed down Sandusky St. in a horse drawn carriage.
After the parade finished Santa greeted visitors at Picking Park.
