Hundreds watch Brussels Santa Claus parade
Despite intermittent snowfall,
hundreds of people lined Brussels’
main street Saturday morning to
watch Santa Gaus come to town as
part of the annual Santa Claus
parade.
After the parade Santa handed
out candies at the fire hall (not at
the Legion as we erroneously
reported last week).
The parade was led by the
Seaforth District High School
girls’ marching band and also
featured the Brussels Twirlettes
majorettes. Many groups and
businesses had floats in the
parade.

Snow didn’t stop the Seaforth District High School Girls Band from entertaining people at the Brussels
Santa Claus Parade on Saturday morning and didn’t stop hundreds from watching the parade.

phin, Lori Ann Black and Teresa

Councillors upset
Continued from page 1
which had to be back to Seaforth for
that town’s parade in the after
noon. Councillors said it would be
bettertohavethe Brussels Pipe
Band alone and have the parade in
the afternoon.
It was suggested that rather than
the expense of candy, free skating
could be provided at the arena or
some other attraction that would
keep children and their parents in
the village for a few hours and keep
shopping money at home.
There will be another meeting of
the parade committee in January to
reviewthe 1985paradeand look
ahead at next year. Council is
hoping that more parts of the
community will get involved at that
time.
