The Kiwanis Club of Fort Frances sponsored the annual Santa Claus Parade in Fort Frances on Saturday evening, with a variety of sports teams, businesses, organizations, churches and communities entering floats. The parade went down Scott Street, and concluded with a sighting of the big man himself, Santa Claus, waving from his sleigh. Santa will be continuing on his Rainy River district tour this Friday, when he visits Emo, during Holly Daze.
