Candy Cane Christmas

MERCER'S ANNUAL Candy Cane Parade lit up Main Street/U.S. 51 Saturday afternoon in Mercer. As part of the Mercer Christmas celebration and inviting Santa to the Loon Town for the Holiday season, the Candy Cane Parade is a local favorite. Businesses and individuals of the community put together floats for the parade and many tossed Christmas treats to spectators as well as members of the MECCA cross country ski trail passed out free one-day passes to the crowd. There was also a gathering after the parade at the Mercer Snogoers Groomers barn, where community members supplied cookies, cakes, candy and hot chocolate.
