Northland employees participated in the 49th annual Downtown Appleton Christmas Parade on November 26 with a festive float. “It went really well,” teller Yasmin Hossain-Hudson said. “It was very chilly, and it started sprinkling at the beginning and kept on throughout most of the parade, but everyone kept a smile on their faces. We had envisioned a candy cane ‘forest,’ and the float maker came pretty close to what we had in mind, so we really felt in the midst of the holiday spirit.”
