Letter to the editor 1, Dec. 11, 2014

Dear Editor,

On behalf of Parks and Recreation I’d like to send out my warmest congratulations and thanks for making this year’s Santa Claus Parade so much fun. It was great to see so many keen people tuning instruments, donning tights (!), putting on elf ears, sharing mincemeat tarts, and generally adding their good cheer to this event.

Big thanks to Donna Karpman for logistics, Nancy Mitchell for the Parks and Rec float, the P and R team for humour and calm, Santa Claus for his special visit to us, Breakfast TV for the kind coverage, our Councillors and Mayor for walking the route, and all the other rosy cheeked friends for adding their parts.

Happy holidays to all, and we are looking forward to seeing you and your beautiful children again at the Stephen F. Shaar Community Centre on December 13th for Breakfast with Santa (8 a.m. to noon).

Sincerely,

Julia Schroeder

Director Parks and Recreation Hudson
