Sauk Rapids Hosting Toy Drive, 5K, Parade and More
SAUK RAPIDS -- There is a full day of holiday festivities this Saturday in Sauk Rapids during the 12th annual Parade of Lights and Family Fun Day.
The day starts with kids bingo at 11:00 a.m. at the VFW with a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus at 2:00 p.m.
The Sauk Rapids Fire Department will be collecting toys from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at the fire hall.
A Trot for Tots 5K starts at 3:00 p.m.
The Holiday Parade of Lights starts at 5:00 p.m. Morgan Thompson is one of the three Sauk Rapids Ambassadors this year. She says the day has been a tradition for her family.
When I was younger I went to the Sauk Rapids Parade a lot and we'd always sit at Jimmy's as a family and eat dinner and watch the parade.
The other two Sauk Rapids Ambassadors this year are Anna Lucas and Kaeleigh Rainer.
The event is put on by the Sauk Rapids Community Ambassador Organization.
