Santa Claus is coming to town! Saturday, November 16, 2013 Thanking this year's Parade sponsors and volunteers Pam Damoff, Parade Chair, credits a dedicated corps of local volunteers -- working in conjunction with the Town of Oakville -- and generous support from the private sector for the Parade's long-standing success. Damoff expressed her heartfelt thanks to the organizing committee as well as the 100 or so volunteers who help on Parade Day entertaining spectators and ensuring the event runs smoothly. She also extends her gratitude, on behalf of her committee, for the continued support of local businesses. Said Damoff, "Our corporate sponsors are an integral part of the Oakville Santa Claus Parade, as we use these funds to hire marching bands, rent costumes, maintain Santa's float, publicize the event and recognize winning entries, amongst many other things." "As a community-minded business owner in Oakville, being involved with the Oakville Santa Claus Parade has been something that we have embraced wholeheartedly", said Frank Apa, President, Lexus of Oakville and Oakville Toyota/Scion. "We are pleased to support a community event that brings so much joy to so many, and encourage other businesses to join us next year."
