Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

By Matthew Bartlett

It's that time of year again. My favorite time of the year in fact. When the Christmas decorations go up and my children begin to lose their minds in anticipation of Santa Claus coming to town. My son, Connor, wants everything that he lays his eyes on. And he never misses an opportunity to peruse the newest catalog and point out that he would like to place an order for EVERYTHING! But December is also when the City of Glendora has their annual Hometown Christmas Parade. Led by Glendora High School's award- winning Tartan Marching Band the parade will march through Downtown Glendora in the Village this Saturday December 13th at 9:00am. Featured in this year's parade will be Olympic Gold Medal-Winning decathlete Bryan Clay, Citizens of the Year Mike & Marcia Conway, Hometown Hero John Lundstrom, Youth Hometown Hero Sunseeta Isrami, and the big man himself Santa Claus. The theme of this year's parade is "All About Kids"; the parade begins at the intersections of Bennett Avenue & Glendora Avenue Downtown in the Village and wraps up at Sandburg Middle School on Bennett Ave. Then afterwards enjoy the Village while you begin your holiday shopping. With plenty of shops to enjoy, dining, beautiful decorations and the sounds of the holiday season makes for a fantastic day in the beautiful City of Glendora. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
