Spectacular colour and lighting brought audible gasps from a crowd estimated at close to 40,000 Saturday night as Aurora's annual Parade Under The Stars hit the streets. The weather behaved itself, and both participants and spectators appeared comfortable throughout the duration of the parade. The Auroran's cameras caught a few of the more colourful displays in the parade. Above, top, the Central York Fire Services had an effective fire prevention float, while Santa Claus, centre, was, as usual, the star of the show. Below, Supreme Collision hockey players were aboard a very colourful float of lollipops and candy. Above right, Donna Ryan struts her stuff with a flaming baton as she entertained the large crowd, while Shoppers Drug Mart's huge inflatable snowman caught the attention of everyone. Organizers once again maintained the parade is one of the best in Ontario and thousands of people appeared to agree.
