The Medina Journal-Register reported:

"Parade lights up downtown celebration
Thousands turn out to see locals' floats."

The Batavia Daily News reported:

"Magnificent. Amazing. Unbelievable."

"There were so many people here visiting from all over,” said Medina Mayor Andrew Meier. “We put our best foot forward and those people left with a lot of warm regards for our community — something they will carry with them for a long time.”

Channel 4 WIVB in Buffalo reported:
"A holiday tradition in Medina continues to grow. "

A wonderful day was had by all!

The 2012 Parade of Lights was the best yet!

Despite cold, breezy weather crowds lined Main Street and the entire length of Park Avenue.

And the FLOATS!
What a fantastic job all of the entrants did this year!
We will have photos and video here soon.

We want to thank all those visitors and the volunteers, vendors, performers, store owners, float builders, Medina police, Orleans auxiliary police, DPW, parade sponsors, announcers, judges and others who's hard work made the day possible.
And, of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus who took time from their busy Christmas schedule to spend the entire day with us in Medina.

THANKS !!
