Santa and Mrs. Claus cruised Crystal Beach on Saturday in the annual Crystaland Parade. Beginning at the fire station, Santa and Mrs. Claus boarded their sleigh-float for an adventurous ride down Crystal Beach Road to the beach and beyond. Parade goers of all ages gathered on the beach to enjoy a cold and windy night, preferably near a roaring fire to keep warm, illuminated by the lights on the floats. The floats and vehicles threw candy and goodies to the crowds. Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with many cheerful holiday elves, traveled down the beach, then turned around and came back for another jolly round. The Crystaland Parade is always a holiday favorite bringing happiness to the community. Merry Christmas to All!
