There will be floats - they just won't be moving.

Organizers of the annual Parade of Lights in Fort Frances are planning to have a static display in the downtown area as part of a festival-type event to kick off the Christmas season.

Causeway Insurance will still stage the event and spokesperson Robin Payeur says it was suggested by the Downtown Business Improvement Association.

Payeur says it also take away the worry of children running into the path of floats as they chase for candy being tossed.
