Friday night was the Yuletyme Christmas Parade in Tyrone!

WTAJ’s Amanda Kenney had the honor of  being the parade’s ambassador this year! 

Hundreds of folks came out to see bands, twirlers, local clubs, and of course Santa Clause to help kick off the holiday season! 

“I’ve heard people in their 90s saying they don’t miss a Christmas parade. It’s a Tyrone tradition, this brings people home, it ushers in the season and we’re just so thankful for hometown traditions,” Parade Organizer Sue Griep said.

After the parade folks made their way to the Joshua House for free hot chocolate and cookies! 

Plus, Santa stopped by so kids of all ages to could get their picture taken with him!
