Santa and Mrs. Claus Visit Downtown Franklin’s Elf Parade and is greeted by hundreds of anxious children and parents. When Santa arrived in his big red fire engine sleigh to greet all the anxiously awaiting children and parents, he brought some of his cold North Pole weather.  The cold weather added to a great Christmas atmosphere for this year’s Downtown Franklin Association’s Elf Parade.

Mrs. Claus busily handed all the lovely children elf hats to wear as they paraded with her and Santa down to Barrett’s Landing for the lighting of the Park Christmas Tree, cookies, candy canes, hot chocolate, and a chance to sit on Santa’s knee and tell him how good they have been and what they would like to get for Christmas.
