Pleasant View Jeepers, who have a strong presence in the town’s annual tradition, will be collecting toys to help less fortunate children this holiday season. Toys can be donated at city hall during regular business hours or put in the trailer as they drive by in the parade.

Following the parade, the Livery Stables in Pleasant View will host their annual Holiday Barn Sale. Until 3 PM, there will be a variety of booths for holiday shoppers to visit. Santa will be there directly after the parade and be available for pictures.
