*Christmas Walk presented by Allied First Bank returns to Main Street*
Illuminated Silent Emergency Vehicle Parade
The annual holiday event featuring fun holiday festivities will be Dec. 3

After a year away, Christmas Walk presented by Allied First Bank, will again light up downtown Oswego to kick off the holiday season.

All the most popular attractions will return after a year away, including the Toyland train, Santa?s reindeer, the Silent Emergency Vehicle Light Parade, the Village?s annual tree lighting production, ice sculptor Nate Johnson, the inflatable sled hill, and enjoy games, crafts, giveaways and prizes, all for free! The event is also a great chance to visit your favorite downtown stores and find the perfect Christmas gift. The event runs 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 3.

?Christmas Walk is such a great holiday tradition in downtown Oswego,? Village President Troy Parlier said. ?I?m looking forward to seeing everyone celebrating this holiday together again this year. And this may even be the merriest yet, especially when we get to follow it up with the return of the Holiday Drive Through at Venue 1012.?

Allied First Bank serves as the event?s presenting sponsor, making it possible to bring this free event for the enjoyment of all.

?We are so glad to continue to be a part of this holiday tradition,? said Ken Bertrand, bank President and CEO. ?Allied First Bank really takes pride in giving back to the community. We can?t wait to see you and your families on Main Street this year to celebrate the holiday season.?

The tree-lighting begins at 5:30 p.m. at the corner of Main and Jackson Streets and features live choral music from Bednarcik and Traughber Junior Highs, Oswego East High School?s Spotlight choir, and the Oswego High School Theatre Club. Plus, catch live entertainment from more of Oswego?s dance troupes and choirs at three different live entertainment locations throughout the event along with DJ John, who always makes the event extra lively.

Then, bring your wish list and visit Santa at his North Pole home away from home, Locked In Photography, 74 Main St. where photos will be taken and made available for download.

At 8:10 p.m., make way for the silent, illuminated emergency vehicle parade down Main Street brought to you by the Oswego Fire Protection District and featuring your favorite characters, including Christmas Tree Rex himself.
