Santa waves a flames rise from the Lewis County “A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments” (ABATE) float during the Centralia Lighted Tractor parade on Saturday, Dec. 9. Despite heavy rain throughout the day, thousands of people attended the parade, which moved down Tower Avenue and Pearl Street before returning to the staging area near Centralia College. It was the 14th year for the parade, which is organized and hosted by the Centralia Downtown Association. The grand marshals this year were the students of the Centralia High School FFA program.
