More than 30 entries participate in Columbiana Christmas parade

COLUMBIANA — If there are fire trucks, marching bands, Boy Scouts and floats, then it must be a parade.

Top it off with Santa Claus and a few elves and it’s a Christmas parade, which is exactly what they had here this morning.

The Columbiana Area Chamber of Commerce had its seventh annual Christmas parade called “A Musical Family Christmas.” There were more than 30 entries in this year’s parade, which organizers said was about on par with last year’s event.

“We started out with just a small parade seven years ago, and it’s gotten a little bigger every year,” said Linda Seidner, chamber director. “We would have had more [entries] this year, but with this weather a lot of people called at the last minute and said it was just too cold to walk.”
