POTSDAM -- Hundreds of costumed children and adults marched in Potsdam's Rag-A-Muffin parade Saturday, despite the cold weather.

The parade ended at the Potsdam Fire Station.

Then the children were given rides on fire trucks and had cider and donuts inside the station.

The event was organized by the Potsdam Kiwanis Club, Potsdam Chamber of Commerce, and Potsdam Volunteer firefighters.
