MEDINA – There are about 40 entries signed up for Saturday’s Parade of Lights in Medina. This is the 14th annual parade.
The parade starts at 6 p.m. and this year will include the debut of an extravagant new sleigh carrying Santa. That sleigh has been created by Takeform.
Takeform representatives will present a key to the sleigh to Mayor Mike Sidari at 5:15 p.m. at Rotary Park. The sleigh will be given to the village to be used in future parades.
Georgia Thomas is the parade’s grand marshal. She will help light the community Christmas tree at 5:30 p.m. At 5:45, there will be a fireworks display and then the lighted floats will start their journey at 6 p.m. from Park Avenue to Main Street.
