The cold didn’t keep away the people as the community celebrated Thanksgiving with the annual GLO N GO Parade of Lights.  People from all over the area saw 37 parade entries travel down Pine Street & Center Avenue.  The Hospital Auxiliary traveled the route and served 13 gallons of hot chocolate to over 300 people.

Earlier in the evening, the Philip Volunteer Fire Department served over 400 buffalo burgers and 4 huge roasters of buffalo chili.  Free will donations of $3,200 and a matching donation of $2,500 from Modern Woodman’s Insurance will help the PVFD outfit a new fire truck.  The Fire Department appreciates the community’s support.

    GREAT photos Diane! (Well, except for that bad one of me!) I love this blog because it really makes us get good photos of what’s going on!

    I hadn’t heard how the Fire Department did! That is SUPER!

    This is one of our community’s best attractions to start off the holiday season. Thanks to the Fire Dept. for the excellent chili & hamburgers. A big thanks to Roger Williams for organizing the outstanding parade of over thirty entries. If you need more photos, I have some.
