Fog and mist couldn’t stop the annual Christmas Parade Monday night sponsored by the Hope/Hempstead County Chamber of Commerce.  The parade had plenty of floats, marching bands, and was highlighted by the arrival of Santa Claus on a Hope Fire Truck.  Following the parade, Jolly Old St. Nick helped Mayor Don Still light the municipal Christmas Tree at the Hope Visitor’s Information Center.  Santa and Mrs. Claus stayed around to accept Christmas wishes from local children at the Tailgater’s Patio.
