Waukon’s Lighted Holiday Parade gets the holiday season off to a shining start ...

The annual Lighted Holiday Parade held in Waukon Saturday evening, December 7 brightened up the beginning of the holiday season in more ways than one as approximately 40 entries made their way through the city streets, starting down Allamakee Street from the Allamakee County Fairgrounds to Main Street and then traveling up West Main Street to the First Presbyterian Church. Seasonal temperatures well above the freezing mark allowed for a large crowd to line the parade route and numerous individuals to walk the route or ride comfortably on this year’s entries, as evident in the photo above taken at the stoplight intersection by Standard Assistant Editor Joe Moses. A video of the complete parade can be found on The Standard’s Facebook page at The Standard Newspaper, Waukon.
