It worked and what was originally called the Santa Claus Lane Parade was born.

Celebrities among its participants include Gene Autry, The Cisco Kid Duncan Renaldo, Ty Hardin, Clint Eastwood and the Rawhide cast (westerns were all the rage on TV and in movies in 1960), Soupy Sales, Ray Corrigan with the Corriganville truck and trailer and many more celebrities like Don DeFore, Bozo, and Pinky the Rollerskating Donkey.
