SANTA'S CHUGGING INTO TOWN

ILLUSTRATION: Photo by L. TODD SPENCER

Santa Claus was the star attraction at the annual Christmas Parade

Dec. 1 at the Chesapeake civic center. He and Mrs. Claus waved to

spectators from a locomotive built by volunteers from Virginia

Power. The parade, sponsored by the Special Programs Office of the

Chesapeake Department of Parks and Recreation, followed the lighting

of the Christmas tree in front of City Hall.
