Clermont residents showed Saturday night they are ready to greet the holiday season as the city held its fourth annual parade and tree lighting ceremony at Town Hall Park. The parade featured many community residents riding in vintage cars, throwing out candy to spectators and the arrival of Santa Claus. Santa didn’t arrive in his traditional sleigh, but instead, in a 1966 Cadillac de Ville convertible.
