About 1,000 people filled the streets of Wyoming for Christmas in the Village Dec 14.
The night started with the lighting of the community Christmas tree at the Wyoming library and included a parade of 32 tractors festooned with Christmas lights.
McIntosh’s Engine Works entry steams down the street to the delight of the crowd.
Lyle Hornblower, 3, had a visit with Santa after the tree lighting and posed for a photo afterwards.
Frosty the Snowman got a ride in a bucket during the tractor parade which chugged down Broadway after the tree lighting.
People were standing about three deep watching the parade go by.
There was also the unveiling of a 16-foot electronic musical tree at the Lion’s Hall. It will be light up every night from 5 to 7 pm until the end of December.
