With 77 entries already registered, the Optimist Club is preparing for another festive Santa Claus Parade on November 21st.
Santa Claus is coming to Tillsonburg, and apparently, he's bringing quite an entourage. With more than a week to go before the annual Santa Claus Parade, 77 entries have already signed up to take part in this year's festivities. The Tillsonburg Optimist Club is once again organizing the parade, continuing a community Christmas tradition it took over from the Kiwanis Club in 2016.
Parade Lead Catherine White talks about how the Optimists became involved.
And there's plenty of community participation again this year, with local groups and organizations preparing to join the celebration.
White says registration has been encouraging.
The parade takes place Saturday, November 21st, beginning at 6 p.m., with road closures starting around 5. Rogers TV will be recording the festivities for rebroadcast, giving residents who can't attend in person an opportunity to enjoy the parade.
White shares more about the arrangements for parade night.
The parade will follow the same route used in recent years, helping spectators plan where they'll watch the procession.
White outlines the route for anyone who needs a reminder.
There's also still time to enter a float! Registration information is available through the Optimist Club's Facebook page, and other Tillsonburg community pages, or by emailing tburgoptimistscparade@gmail.com.
With 77 entries already registered, it looks like Santa will have plenty of company when he makes his way through Tillsonburg.
