A wonderful day was had by all!
 
The 2011 Parade of Lights could not have been better!

Comfortable temperature and calm wind made the event even more enjoyable than usual. Spectators lined Park Avenue and were ten deep on Main Street.

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 !!
