The warmer winter weather lead to great conditions for the annual Portage Rotary Club Santa Parade of Lights. Jakob Lautenschlaeger of Century 21 Foxx Realty outlines his experience in the parade.

"Awesome. It's going faster than usual but it's good. It's jut fun to see the community involved here and to be able to distribute a few small things to the kids. Just to see the kids smile is fun."

Mayor Irvine Ferris also took part in the holiday festivities and says the turnout was outstanding.

"It's fantastic! It's just packed down the avenue. Great weather, lots of people and great floats. It's a perfect parade."

As per usual the parade ended with an appearance from Santa Claus and his eight reindeer on the final float.
