Council gives in-kind support for Rockwood Parade of Lights ROCKWOODThe Miller By Rebecca Ring It may not look like Christmas yet, but the wheels are in motion to bring Santa to Rockwood in the 16th Annual Rock- wood Farmers Santa Claus Parade of Lights on December 11. Guelph/ Eramosa Council agreed to continue Township support for the parade, which is organized by the Rockwood Farming Community Committee, a non-profit group. The Public Works Department will obtain approvals for road closures, provide insurance, coordinate traffic control, arrange and install road closure and detour signs, traffic barricades and barrels, and provide safety vests and two-way radios. Dur- ing the parade, Hwy. 7 will be closed at Milton/ Eramosa Townline and at Wellington Rd. 44/Eram- osa 4th line. Wellington Rd. 27 will be closed at Wellington Rd 124 and Hwy. 7. Public Works Manager Ken Gagnon provided a report detailing the town- ships in-kind costs for last years parade. Em- ployee hours totaled 80.5 at a cost of $2065.45 and equipment time totaled 39.75 hours at a cost of $1168.32 for a grand total of $3233.74 for in-kind donations. The report in- cludes a quote from the Rockwood Farmers Pa- rade of Lights website: Each years parade has been more spectacular than the previous with residents, merchants and visitors to the community en thus ias t i ca l ly r e - sponding all year long as to what the parade meant to them and to please do it again!! The parade began as an informal and spontaneous celebration. The parade website says, A group of local farmers decided to dress up their farm equip- ment for the Christmas season and ride through the village streets as a holiday gesture of good- will to their non-farming neighbours. The joy, ex- citement and appreciation shown during the parade and during the year was enough to encourage a re- peat performance. And so the tradition was born. The parade consists of floats made from antique and modern farming equipment decked out in lights, garland, ribbons, bows and glitter, many with music and dancing, Christmas trees, and even Cloggers. The grand fi- nale is none other than Santa and Mrs. Claus rid- ing their combine.
