Ironically enough, the 21st annual Parade of Lights saw 21 entries this season. The well-decorated floats lit up the streets of Weyburn on December 4. The Chamber of Commerce, which hosts the event, had a difficult time choosing a winner between all the entries.
"We can't thank everyone enough for the effort that goes into this event. The businesses and organizations that make these floats do this all on their time, in the cold, out of pure community pride," said Weyburn Chamber Manager Rochelle Wendt.
The parade saw the Prairie Sky Co-op float receive an honourable mention for their "suite" ride for Santa. Swayze Concrete took home the honour of first place. The parade always finishes with the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce's float which reserves the only spot for Santa in the parade!
"The Chamber always organizes the Parade of Lights on the first Thursday of December as our way of helping everyone kick off the holiday season," explained Wendt. "In addition, we want to express great thanks to everyone who came out to watch the parade. The weather always shows the heartiness and civic pride the people of Weyburn and area have."
