The Valley stood still for kids in the lead-up to the holiday season … with fun events and activities ranging from crafts and virtual zoom zoo tours from Madawaska Valley Public Library to safe visits with Santa Claus at the Barry’s Bay Railway Station and the new MV Holiday Lights Tour. In the weeks before Christmas Eve, there were special safely-distanced parades for families including the drive-through Stationary Parade hosted by the Barry’s Bay Recreation Committee at the Paul J. Yakabuski Community Centre. Above: Madawaska Valley Fire Department provided excitement with flashing lights and horns at the arena
In Killaloe’s Station Park, families walked along a path through the floats and visited with Santa and Mrs. Claus before collecting treat bags for the kids.
