A big Christmas welcome (w/photo gallery)

Santa greets children young and old as he makes his entrance during The Kenton Lions Club: Ohio’s Biggest Small Town Christmas Parade on Tuesday evening in downtown Kenton. 

A tractor from Silver Creek supply is decked out in lights for the holiday.

A train constructed by the late George Long makes a return trip to the parade to honor his 97-year legacy.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse are joined by Olaf, the snowman from Frozen, as they walk the parade route.
