Even the weather co-operated to make the Christmas Lights parade in Unity, Saskatchewan, on December 3, 2020, an enjoyable, cheerful way to ring in the Christmas season in what has been a difficult year. Many businesses, organizations and individuals took the time to decorate vehicles – everything pickup trucks and trailers to cement and garbage trucks to ATVs – to light up the streets of Unity for residents, young and old.
Now that everyone is starting to get used to Friday distribution of the Unity Wilkie Press-Herald, we’re going to mix it up a bit and give you this week’s paper a day early! That’s because Christmas is on a Sunday so all staff are taking Friday off in lieu!
