Saturday, December 10, residents and visitors lined up along Corliss Park, Northern Avenue, and Fifth Avenue to enjoy a wonderful afternoon. Holiday candy was tossed out to parade goers as a who’s who of participants ranging from area fire departments to the Lansingburgh HS football team, City of Troy departments, police officials, area businesses and residents in decked out vehicles made an appearance. The parade ended at Powers Park.
The Powers Park grounds included caroling by the Lansingburgh HS choir, two children’s bike raffles, a meet and greet with Santa Claus and Miss Uncle Sam, the hanging of the memorial ornaments on the memorial tree, and the official lighting of the park tree. Free donuts, candy canes, and hot cocoa from Big Bellies, chili to-go from the Lansingburgh HS football booster club, and pizza from the Lansingburgh Veterans Club was served to attendees.
