The motorcycle led the parade Saturday, pulling St. Nick in his sleigh. Children waved at Santa from the sidewalk as the parade made their way down Gillette Avenue.
Behind Santa Claus, a heavily decorated truck with A.B.A.T.E of NE WY spelled out on the grille, followed the bikes as masked children handed out bags of candy to the bystanders.

The parade was followed up by a plethora of motorcycles and dirt bikes, many which were decked out for Christmas.
Finally, the A.B.A.T.E Stuff the Bus finished up the parade, honking as it rambled past the crowds downtown.
St. Nick enjoyed cookies with about 200 visitors at the Gillette Brewing Company following the parade. He also decided to stop by the American Legion on Sunday morning to savor some breakfast with 100 more visitors before departing back to the North Pole.
The A.B.A.T.E Toy Store has been working nonstop the past three weeks to collect new toys for local children. The bus will be parked at various locations throughout Gillette until Dec. 13, when the toys will be ‘un-stuffed’ and passed out to the kids.
