Santa Claus came to town on Saturday when Washington held its Holiday Blitz. Santa helped light the holiday lights around the square while families watched. The 22nd annual holiday lighted parade was held with 18 entries, including the KCII Big Red Radio. The day also included breakfast with Santa, the Jingle Bell Run, Small Business Saturday, hay rack rides, Christmas carolers and the first ever live broadcast radio play. The day of activities was organized by Main Street Washington. For photos from the events visit KCII Radio’s Facebook page.
