Listen "Santa Float"
Episode Synopsis
David Mills and Jim Frost are devoted members of the Haliburton Lions Club. Every year, they're in charge of the club's prized possession — its Santa Claus float for the annual Christmas parade. Designed and constructed in 2004, its founders have passed on, but their vision is lovingly preserved. Each year, the float is repaired and prepared for the nigh time parade, with hand-carved reindeers and a beautiful cutter for Santa to ride in.Over the years, the float has encountered a number of interesting challenges, but the community's affection for it has kept it rolling in the parade, no matter what. Both Mills and Frost say it's the star of the annual event and a great source of pride.Mills and Frost recently visited the CanoeFM studios to discuss the vibrant history of the Santa Claus float and what it means to the community.
