A HoliDazzling day in Wilmington

0

More than 50 illuminated floats passed through the huge crowd, shown here at the intersection of Main and South streets, for the 10th HomeTown HoliDazzle Illuminated Parade and Festival. Thousands of people from Clinton County and beyond jammed downtown Wilmington on a crisp but precipitation-free Saturday.

The train around South Street was popular among kids of all ages.

It was another Merry Tuba Christmas at the Murphy Theatre.

Smiles abound at Pictures with Santa (and the Mrs.) at Peoples Bank in Wilmington.

At Pictures with Santa at Peoples Bank were smiling Kairi Hutchinson, Layni Ann Hutchinson and Jacob Weisenberger.

Makenzie Shanabrook and Ryley Harnish enjoyed visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Local veterans marched at the front of the parade.

Lined up and all set for the parade.

Visiting with the Clauses are Layla Cooper, Bryleigh Weaver, Emma Whitson and Jordan Reed.

Fest-goers were entertained throughout the afternoon and into evening on the main stage.
