The annual Wellsville Christmas Parade was held this past Saturday. The parade is organized and sponsored by the Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce with Vicki McCombs serving as Parade Chairwoman. DJ Bobby Sell III entertained with spinning Christmas tunes. Ed Bauer served as Master of Ceremonies.
This year's parade had 45 entries with trophies being awarded in four different categories. Highlandtown VFD took first place in the Fire Truck category with Wellsville VFD placing second. The best car/truck entry went to the CC Humane Society with the Blues Brothers placing second. The best float was awarded to the Wellsville Nazarene Church with the Dairy Queen and Gibby's Market coming in second and third. The best marching entry went to Center Pharmacy with Central United Methodist Church placing second. There were so many winning entries the judges had a hard time with their final selections.
The high light of the parade was the arrival of Santa & Mrs. Clause. Santa took time out of his busy schedule to pose for pictures and to hear what the children had on the Christmas list. Mrs. Clause passed out treats to the children. Did you know that Mrs. Clause was first introduced in 1889? She gets around and looks pretty good for 121 years of age. Santa must be sharing his secret to longevity.

Kudos to Vicki McCombs and the Chamber for a great parade.
And such a nice photo of the Cataldo sisters! They are an asset to the community!!
It was a great parade ! Special thanks to Vicki and the Chamber for another great event for the village.
Too bad the parade couldn't be held earlier so we can see everyone. It was a little dark and no street lights.
We agree. Not only would visibility be better it would be safer for both the parade participants and the spectators. It's scary watching the children scramble for candy in the near darkness. It would be a little warmer in the day light too.
