Wampum held its 49th Annual Christmas Parade on Saturday.
Over 50 units, including cars, floats, bands and marching groups participated in the parade. which is billed as the biggest Christmas parade in Lawrence County.
This year the parade was dedicated to Frank Yoho of Wayne Township, who had portrayed Santa Claus in the parade for 28 years. Yoho passed away on June 26 at the age of 81 and is greatly missed by the Wampum community. In addition to portraying Santa, Frank lent his considerable handyman skills to the Wampum Christmas Parade Committee on projects including creating the display which houses Santa and Mrs.Clause as they greet children in the gymnasium following the Parade. Frank’s children, Lisa, Kimberly, and Frank will ride in the Parade this year.
On Friday, Ellwood City held its annual Light Up Night.
