Bev and Art Davis, who play Mr. and Mrs. Claus each year, are This is one event that's strictly for fun enthusiastic about the reception the parade gets. "You know, the most amazing moment for me is when we are all lined up at the farm, and the floats begin to make their way down the hill toward the road," Bev remarks. "The entire parade is spread out before us in the dark, and they make an incredible spectacle, with lights glowing and carols being played. It's truly a magical moment." On a snowy evening before Christmas, there's no better way to enjoy town and country camaraderie than by the glow of lights, the sound of carols and the sight of Mr. and Mrs. Claus on their combine, cheerfully waving to an enthusiastic crowd.0 DAVID'E.
