This year’s Strathroy Lions-Ricco Foods Santa Claus Parade is set for November 18th at 1pm, but it does not work with financial support for all the costs involved in putting the event together. Last week the Strathroy Lions received $7500 from title sponsor Ricco Foods and Owner Don Windsor says it’s about the community and that’s why the business has been supporting events like the parade for over 25 years.
The parade also received financial support from the Municipality in the amount of $3500 to which Mayor Colin Grantham says this was a no brainer to support events like this. Deadline to enter a Christmas themed float for the parade is November 13th. Entry forms can be found on the websites of myFM, Strathroy Lions and the Chamber of Commerce.
