Richmond— Richmond’s first nighttime Santa Parade on Saturday drew 2000 or more spectators who lined parts of the parade route to watch some 50 vehicles including trucks, tractors, wagons, a grader, and at least two electric cars all with varying degrees of festive illumination. Santa returned to Richmond’s René Thibault Park on Sunday morning to hand out gifts to more than 100 youngsters, all with their parents in tow.
