ELLSWORTH – Persons looking for an old-fashioned Christmas might want to head to Ellsworth on Saturday.

The downtown merchants are sponsoring their annual Christmas parade again, and this year’s theme is an “Old Fashioned Christmas.” The parade includes floats, bands and, of course, Santa Claus. It begins at 11 a.m. at Larry’s Pastry Shop on Main Street and will end near the Bryant E. Moore School on State Street.
