2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Novenber 7, 1979 Santa Looking Forward From Page 1 is the parade's starting point," informe Santa. "Do you happen to be familiar with the parade route, Santa?" we questioned. "That's an easy one for Santa to answer,' he laughed. "The parade will follow the same route as inthe past, proceeding from the sehool along Silver Street, Church Street, Scugog Street, King Street and Liberty Street South, ending_ at Memorial Park." "Does this year's parade offer any new features, Santa?" we asked. "As sure as my beard is white, it does," chuckled Santa. "In communication with float chairman, Kingsley Van Nest, I have learned the committee's objective is approximately 30 float entries," he said. "Everyone involved with the parade is as busy as my elves," stated Santa. "The 3rd Pack Brownies are working feverishly on an 'Itsey Bitsey Spider' float and the Bowmanville Jaycette group is constructing 'The Muppet's Christmas Band," explained Santa. "Is there anything further of a preview nature you might tell us about the parade, Santa? " we asked. "Ho! Ho! Ho! There's much to tell but we must maintain a degree of suspense," he teased. "Costume chairperson, Lynn Killingbeck told me recently she has added eight new elephant and elf costumes to the committee's repertoire. This addition brings the parade wardrobe to approximately 100 animal, soldier and clown outfits," stated Santa. "I plan to be especially good to Lynn this Christmas for the hours she has spent over her sewing machine," assured Santa. "What do you know of the bands which have been confirmed," we questioned. "Band chairman John Pogue has lined up eight terrific bands that will set the day's festive mood," stated Santa. "Following the parade, the York Steel Band will stage an additional musical performance on the front steps of the Bank of Montreal," Santa added. "We assume you are aware the parade's theme this year is "Christmas is for Kids" we asked. "Ho! Ho! Ho! Oh yes -- parade chairman George Stephen keeps me well informed about parade details and has told me the committee's attempt to make the parade better every year looks like it will again become a reality," stated Santa. "Do you plan to buy a Bowmanville Santa Claus parade button, Santa?" we queried. "Wouldn't the pole emphasized.
