Horsing around at the Cobden parade The 2015 edition of the Cobden Santa Claus Parade made its way through the streets of the village Saturday afternoon. Wayne Hoffman and Sheila Clarke of Killaloe, aboard Xena and Scarlett respectively, weren’t about to miss out on this year’s Cobden parade. The Killaloe couple was dressed up for the wild, wild west this year. They enjoy attending as many Santa Claus Parades throughout the Valley as possible, and hope to make it to Renfrew this Saturday. The Renfrew Lions Club Santa Claus Parade leaves Our Lady of Fatima School at 1 p.m.

It’s the pre-Christmas event that gets everyone into the spirit of the holidays. Santa Claus rolls into town this Saturday, Dec. 5 for the Renfrew Lions Club Santa Claus Parade and the event’s shaping up to be another great one. “The parade starts at 1 p.m. sharp from Our Lady of Fatima School on Mason Street and makes its way down Raglan Street to the fairgrounds,” said Lion John Bromilow. “It looks like it’s going to be a good weather day with the forecast saying plus six and sunny for Saturday.” Honorary parade marshal is Renfrew citizen of the year Jo-Anne Dowdall Brown and the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Pipes and Drums will once again lead off the parade. Several collections will take place during the parade, which has a Santa’s Workshop theme this year. “Canada Post letter carriers will be collecting letters to Santa, the Renfrew firefighters will have a boot collection for the snowsuit fund and the Renfrew and District Food Bank will be collecting food items,” said Bromilow. He encouraged members of the public to come out to see the parade, which

averages about 50 floats each year. “We’re happy to see them along the route,” said Bromilow. Following the parade, float participants are treated to hot chocolate and hot dogs at the Armouries, where Santa will be handing out bags of candy and visiting with the little ones. Like most community events, the parade relies on volunteers to make it a success and Bromilow expressed thanks to all those involved. In particular, the local chapter of the Templar Knights Motorcycle Club has been a big help in getting the 2015 parade together.
