Santa Parade 2001 — A Parade of Lights
Sponsored by Kermode Net Inc. — This year's Santa Parade—A Parade of Lights—was the biggest Santa Parade ever . . . At least in Terrace. Hundreds of parents and children lined Lakelse Avenue in anticipation, and, an unusual occurrence here, the parade started bang on the advertised time of 6 p.m.
Remembrance Day 2001 in Terrace was much the same as it has always been; an important reminder of the sacrifice six decades ago and how lucky we are to live in a free country. There was one difference this year, however, the weather, which, while typically wet, was untypically mild.
Problem number one was the weather. A deluge overnight Sunday turned the Christy Park parking lot into Christy River, and soccer pitches into Christy Slough. The rain eased a bit on Tuesday, but only enough to turn the river into a creek. And the grass didn't dry out a bit.
