Looking to the Lights

Local kids gather expectantly on the side of Patrick Street as Dublin first responders lead in the annual lighted Christmas parade Thursday night. As usual, Santa rode in the front of a Dublin Volunteer Fire Department truck near the front of the line, waving to all who gathered before getting off the vehicle and sitting down at the Corner Lot to meet with local boys and girls for Christmas wishes and photo opportunities.
