On Saturday, December 3rd, 2016 the Sadsburyville Fire Company along with many other outside agencies spread the Christmas cheer throughout the Coatesville area by participating in the Annual Coatesville Christmas Parade.

Utility 31 and Engine 31-1 were both in attendance at this year's parade.

Fire apparatus lined up on South First Avenue in Coatesville and lead the parade through the East end of town prior to all of the various floats, marching bands, antique vehicles, and specialized groups.

The Coatesville Christmas Parade is one of the largest parades in Chester County, which marches down Lincoln Highway in Coatesville City. Each year, various participants include the sports team mascots, string bands, school groups, community groups, antique, classic and modified automobiles, and police and fire apparatus. All groups march the 1.5 mile parade route kicking off the holiday season and escorting Santa into town.

Special thank you goes out to the Coatesville Christmas Parade Committee for continuing to uphold this special event each year.
