A little over 50 decorated floats and vehicles drove through Veneta Thursday night, starting on Jack Kelley Drive and winding through downtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animals were also in the parade, dressed in lights and community members handed out candy. The parade came to an end with Santa\u2019s float.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city of Veneta also held their annual tree lighting on Dec. 6, where mayor-elect Robbie McCoy counted down the lighting. The Veneta Elementary School choir sang Christmas songs followed by the middle school and high school choir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa rode in to visit the children and they lined up, eager to tell him what they wanted for Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
