Before he makes his much-anticipated trip around the world on Sunday night, Santa Claus will be paying a visit to Ashern tomorrow night. 

Organizing committee member Tara Schoenberger says the community's Santa Claus parade will begin at 6:30 tomorrow night from the Ashern Centennial Hall. 

"It will travel East onto Highway 325 until 2nd Avenue North, then to 1st Street South, before it heads East towards Railway Avenue. where it will head North towards Main Street.  From there it will turn West onto Main Street until we get back to 2nd Avenue North, where will make our way back to the Centennial Hall"

Schoenberger says they will be accepting entries right up until the 6:30 start time for the parade.

"I have about five floats registered, but I find that people do not often want to register, they just show up and go into the parade.  They can show up at the Ashern Centennial Hall, I would say to be there by 6:15, because the parade starts at 6:30." 

Schoenberger adds there is an added treat for residents before the start of the parade.

"We are offering hot chocolate and cookies that are donated by the local Tim Horton's at six o'clock at the chamber booth."
