The parade's grand marshal is Raymond "Jake" Young, a World War II veteran and long-time resident of Whiteoak Township, who is being honored for his military and community service.
The parade will end at Whiteoak High School, where the annual craft fair will be taking place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The fire department will be serving free hot chocolate and cookies, and children may have their photos taken with Santa. Additional refreshments will be served during the craft show hours by Whiteoak Valley Grange, which is sponsoring the show.
