It was lovely weather for a parade together with the community.
The annual Times Observer/WCCBI Downtown Warren Christmas Walk and Parade had it all — the good, the bad, and the WACKO.
Santa Claus made his traditional pre-Christmas appearance to participate in the parade — riding a log cabin this time — and to greet the young people of Warren County. His tenement on wheels was later parked on Second Avenue at Liberty Street and a line of mostly excited children quickly formed. Santa will be at Allegheny Memorials from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, at Mohawk Avenue and Route 6.
The Grinch showed his face in the parade, but he was sealed away in the basement at McKissock’s afterward. The line waiting to get into the Whoville display stretched across Liberty Street and curved south.
Hot cocoa and cookies were available at several locations — helpi

The Warren Area Cackophonic Kazoo Organization spread its oddity again, not only making their ‘music’ in the parade but handing out kazoos to spectators.
More formal music was provided by the Warren Area High School band during the parade and the Youngsville High School string orchestra at the Warren County Historical Society.
PennDOT brought out the Warren Area High School entry in the annual Paint the Plow competition.
In addition to carrying Grand Marshals Nancy and Don Rudolph, the Warren County Historical Society’s horse-drawn trolley bore suffragettes celebrating 100 years of women having the right to vote.
“The community came out in droves and showed its togetherness once again on Friday,” according to Times Observer Publisher Robert Patchen. “The parade and Christmas Walk went very smoothly, and it’s the perfect start to the Christmas season. Thanks again to the WCCBI for being the Times Observer’s co-sponsor, and to all who participated.”
