We just finished Halloween, Thanksgiving is coming up, but along with the rush to the end of the year, Christmas is just around the corner, and that means the annual Santa Claus Parade.

I know that it's only July, but help is needed right now to rebuild Santa's sleigh. The Grand Rapids Jaycees are attempting to raise $25,000 as part of a "Community Grant Challenge" to rebuild the sleigh that Santa rides into Grand Rapids as the finale of the Art Van Santa Parade every year.( This year's parade will be on November 22nd.)
