Swanton Delivers Two For The Price Of None With Parade & Craft Show Combo

By: Bill O’Connell PHOTOS BY BILL O’CONNELL, STAFF
THE VILLAGE REPORTER

On a cool but sunny
Saturday morning, the
Christmas in Swan-
ton Committee (CSC)
held its annual Christ-
mas Parade down Main
Street and, before and
long after, welcomed
area residents into a
warm Swanton High
School for a large holi-
day craft show that
featured a multitude of
potential gift ideas and
great Christmas decora-
tions.

There was no charge
for either event and lots
of giveaways at both
with hot chocolate and
candy at the parade
and cookie and candy
samples at the craft
show. Santa Claus, as
always, walked the en-
tire parade route then
later, in the high school
auditorium, granted an
audience to hundreds
of young children who
were there to make sure
that Santa knew exactly
what to put under their
tree this year.

The parade began at
approximately 10:30,
lasted just over 20 min-
utes and displayed a
variety of cleverly deco-
rated floats, public safe-
ty vehicles and both the
Swanton and Delta High
School marching bands.
Once the final vehicle
passed, many people
jumped into their cars
and paraded up to the
high school for the craft
show that was already
well under way.

Keri and Mike Ro-
chelle, ten-year veterans
of the CSC, co-chaired
this year’s event with
help of many other vol-
unteers including Alan
Schory who organized
the parade and Pam
Raab who coordinated
the craft show. “One of
the things we take the
most joy in is that local
area businesses and dif-
ferent groups help sup-
port us and this event is
100% free,” said Mike.
“It’s a gift back to the
community from the
community.”

It is also a “gift” that
is becoming more and
more popular each year
as evidenced by the
packed rooms and halls
of the high school and
the cars that overflowed
onto the grassy areas
around the parking lot.
If the trend continues
future attendees just
may require a reserva-
tion.
