Parade of Lights thrills thousands Saturday evening

The weather may have been chilly and the roads may have been icy, but that didn’t stop thousands of children, parents and grandparents from filling up the sidewalks along Gillette Avenue for Gillette Main Street’s annual Parade of Lights Saturday evening.

Small businesses, large businesses, churches, schools and nonprofit organizations lit up the night sky with their lights and handed out candy, drinks and other items to eager kids.
