When the bells of the Old Whaling Church clock chimed 11 a.m. on Saturday morning, anticipation was high in downtown Edgartown for the annual Christmas parade. Police sirens sounded in the distance as a large crowd of parade-goers gathered on Main street to await the procession of floats.
Finally, the wait was over and Santa arrived atop the big red Edgartown fire truck, smiling and waving to kids both young and young at heart.
