The 2012 Lion's Clarenville Santa Claus Parade

It was a beautiful pre-winter morning, perfect for the 48th running of the Lion's Clarenville Santa Claus Parade.

This parade has grown with the town, this year's featuring almost 50 floats/vehicles. The work and dedication that goes into the Parade each year is clearly demonstrated as the parade rolls by. Most importantly, I am always impressed with the number of people who are actually in the parade! The Clarenville Volunteer Fire Department, Nancy Stanford's Dance Studio, Newfoundland Power, the Salvation Army are just a few examples. They seem to have every member of thier respective organization's there - that is fantastic to see and it speaks so highly of their dedication to the event.

The members that make up the Clarenville Lion's Club, have done an outstanding job at growing the quality of the annual event. For almost 50 years they have been the ones who have organized it and it speaks to their dedication to the community. Finally, the Triple Bay Eagles do outstanding job at keeping everyone safe! Kudo's to you all!

Here's this year's Parade Video...see for yourself
