This year's parade is starting from a new location, as participants will gather at Birch Haven Court and McCort Drive (south of Charleston Sideroad) at 5 p.m. At 5:30 p.m. sharp, the parade will proceed north on Autumn Drive and cross Charleston, where the floats will be judged on Hawthorne Avenue. Then the parade will head north on Sumach Road to Chester Drive and south on Spruce Drive to Maple Grove Road where the parade officially ends. Everyone is invited to go to Raeburn's Corner parkette, beside Knox United Church, where there will be an opportunity to visit with Santa. Children should be sure to bring their letters to mail in Santa's special mailbox in the parkette. Caledon's Town Crier will be on hand, as well as local dignitaries, followed by the children's count down to light up the beautifully decorated tree in the parkette. Carol singing will follow and then the Optimists of Caledon will have six free draws of $25 each for the children. The Caledon Lions Club will make a donation to the Breakfast Club at Caledon Central Public School and CVA will make a donation to the Shop with a Cop program. Hot dogs, soup, chilli, hot chocolate, coffee, cider and sweets will be served outside. Bring new, unwrapped toys for the Caledon Firefighters' annual Toy Drive and drop them in the container outside the church. CVA is providing free draw tickets for the Children's Table of raffle items inside the church. Place tickets in the jar for the desired item. There are also some wonderful raffle items for adults, along with a fabulous silent auction containing some exciting Christmas gift ideas. Entertainment will include Bert's Snow-tacular Wonderland Magic Show, which will commence at about 7 p.m., followed by the Orangeville Chorus, Sweet Adelines International with Christmas music. The raffles will be drawn following their performance and the silent auction bids will close. Thanks goes out to the Caledon Lions Club, the Optimists of Caledon and all the local businesses and CVA members who have contributed monetary donations, gifts and hours of volunteer time to make this a successful event. Bundle up the kids, practise singing and get ready for an evening of old fashioned family fun in Caledon village. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2015-11-26 16:29:52 Post date GMT: 2015-11-26 21:29:52 Post modified date: 2015-12-10 16:47:15 Post modified date GMT: 2015-12-10 21:47:15 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
