Here, clockwise from top left, a girl keeps pace with a costumed toy soldier. Mrs. Claus, the parade's Grand Marshal, rides in her carriage with 2013 parade-colouring-contest winner Isabella Bavaro. Youths in holiday chefs' hats, representing the HealthyFam Kids Culinary Community (KCC), wave to the crowd. Excited parade watchers count down to Santa's arrival. The Polar Express oat was a fan favourite. The parade is ushered in (centre photo). Members of the Burlington Top Hat Marching Band perform.
