The show begins at 2 p.m. when the first float leaves the Port Perry Fairgrounds to begin a winding 3.3-km journey through the downtown core;of Port Perry. The route will see par- ticipants travel the same route as last year; it was revised to alleviate traffic problems. From the fairgrounds, the parade will travel south on Rosa St. to Queen St., where it will turn east and travel to Simcoe St. From there, participants go south a short distance to Mary St., where they again turn east and travel to Water St. before turning north and heading back to Queen St. They will then head west through the down- town area before turning north onto John St., and then follow Simcoe St. back to the fairgrounds, where Santa's Village awaits. More than 60 floats are expected to be entered for the event, says parade co-ordinator Ray Northey. "We had 54 floats last year and we're hoping to top 60 in 1999," he said, noting that there are already eight bands con- firmed. "Alot of groups and businesses weren't abe to participate in 1998, but they have told me they'll be in it this year so we should have a good-sized parade," said Mr. Northey. A float for Santa and his reindeer is currently being constructed under the watchful eye of Rita Kennedy, and former Scugog mayor Howard Hall will announce the floats as they go by from his perch in front of the Port Perry Post Office, said Mr. Northey.
