HARRISTON – Santa is set to hit the streets of Harriston once again on Nov. 23.

Participants will line up at 6pm at Spear Seeds on John Street North.
There will be prizes for this year’s best floats.
The first place winner will receive a cash prize of $100, second place will receive $75, and third will receive $50. There is no theme this year.
Minto firefighters will be collecting food bank donations along the parade route, which will begin at the lineup location and continue along Louise Street, up to Elora Street, and conclude at the Harriston arena on Young Street East.
Earlier in the day, youngsters are invited to drop their Christmas letters off to Santa at Tannery Park from 2 to 4pm.

Following story time, A free showing of the holiday classic Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer will be held at the Crown Harriston, with more hot chocolate and snacks just before the 7pm parade.
