The chill of winter and Grantsville's Christmas Parade brought Santa to town yesterday evening, with hundreds of kids flocking to see his arrival on a Grantsville Volunteer Fire Department fire truck.

Grantsvillian Roger Jarvis, one of the community's most dedicated volunteers, was Parade Marshal with wife Linda and granddaughter Kaylee.

The Calhoun High Red Devil Band made an appearance with a visit from the neighboring Smithville VFD with their fire truck aglow with 10,000 lights.

The event was sponsored by the Grantsville Lions Club.

There were floats and reigning queens and princesses.
