The festivities continued after the lighted parade at the Platte Valley Community Center (PVCC) where the VSO provided food, hot chocolate and cookies. Mr. & Mrs. Claus made an appearance to the delight of children. The PVCC was adorned with many festive inflatables for all to enjoy.

The Valley Service Organization (VSO) continued their 41 year tradition of hosting the Christmas parade in Saratoga. This year's theme was "Christmas Magic".
The parade route started by giving the seniors at the Care Center the first look at the floats as they passed by Saturday night. Many said it was a the largest parade in recent memory with more than 20 entries.
