The weather was bright Saturday morning and so was the mood in Bolton as the community came out to take in the annual Santa Claus Parade, put on by the Bolton Kinsmen. There was a big crowd out in Bolton Saturday to help the Kinsmen Club welcome Santa Claus back to town. It took almost 90 minutes for the annual parade to traverse the main street of the village.
