Students from G.C. Huston Public School rode, walked, and played beautiful music down High Street during the Southampton Santa Claus Parade December 2.

The Lakeside Southampton truck had some cute passengers and neat decals.

The St. Paul’s and St. John’s Anglican Church float had the spirit during the Southampton Santa Claus parade.

Braving a few raindrops, Santa was still able to make it down High Street with the same jolly spirit.
