Once
the Winterfest Parade made its way to the Sheridan Center Open Air Pavilion in
Heritage Park, thousands of people were entertained by live holiday music and
stilt walkers throughout the pavilion.
Various
food vendors were set up, as were face painters and other fun activities for
children. Live reindeer were on-hand and there were also professional ice
carvers doing their handy work throughout the day.
Eventually,
Mayor Rick Sollars and his family joined Santa Claus to light the official
Christmas tree, which will stand in the middle of the pavilion throughout the
holiday season.
Heritage
Park and the Sheridan Center are lighted, and if you haven't had a chance to
stop by, it's worth driving past during the evening hours.
The
Taylor Chevrolet Winterfest Fireworks finished the evening's activities.
Santa's Magic Forest, Downriver's premiere indoor holiday display, opened on
Saturday and will remain open during certain hours on Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays through December 23. All proceeds from the magic forest go to the
Downriver Fish & Loaves Food Pantry, which supports needy families
throughout the region.
