Christmas spirits were high Thursday morning at the AM 1140 and 99.7 Sun Country studios, as the winners of both the Santa Claus Parade and Light Up High River met for pictures.

Ted Dawson, the Chairman and organizer of both events, gave out plaques and passed on his appreciation for the huge efforts made by all the winners this year.

Dawson is already well into preperations for next Christmas, and welcomes everyone to take part in 2017.
