The Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce had a wonderful entry this year thanks to the efforts of Lisa Roper, Parade Float Chairman and her committee. The miniature sleigh carried Santa and Mrs. Claus (Mud and Neva Bosco), accompanied by children from Kiddie Kollege Day Care, Tonya Waller, Allison and Jamie Andrews, Hannah and Isaac Fehrenbach and Mrs. Audrey Andrews (watching over them). Instead of eight miniature reindeer, Santa was pulled by Chamber volunteer, Leo Kuentz's truck, accompanied by Mike Burns and Betty Howie. Co-Chairs, Terry and Val Schroller (APC Pest Control), and Eddy and Crystal Gottfried, plus the Chamber Board of Directors and Staff extend our most sincere thanks to all the fantastic parade participants; Centex Wing of the Commemorative Air Force (Clint Epley), Comal County Sheriff's Office (Sheriff Bob Holder, Sgt.
