Santa Claus Parade kicks off Light-Up

The annual High Prairie Santa Claus Parade was held as the leadup to turning on the Christmas lights and decorations in the centre of town Dec. 1. Entries were around the usual 10 or so but were much higher quality this year with more lights and decorations. As usual, the High Prairie Fire Department led the parade with the High Prairie Air Cadets marching behind.

The High Prairie Red Wings made an appearance at the parade, just before their home game against the Edson Eagles.
