‘Twas three weeks before Christmas
And it was not a charade,
All sorts of creatures were stirring
For the Crofton Christmas parade.
With Gabor Horvath at the helm
There wasn’t a worry,
The parade soon proceeded
Down Robert Street in a hurry.
To be placed near the start
Mayor Rob Douglas wanted clearance,
And along with three other councillors
They all made an appearance.
The crowd packed the street
Not giving an inch,
Then they stepped aside
To make room for the Grinch.
The Dog Father Rick Shay,
Supplied hot dogs at the event,
Warmland cooked ‘em up
Served just right in the tent.
There was hot chocolate, too
And Christmas carols filled the air,
The Warmland band delivered
The music with much flair.
When the parade came to an end
The children were on a mission,
For photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus
And to tell of the presents they’re wishin.’
All went home with memories
Of considerable good cheer,
Many people said they can’t wait
To do it again next year.
