2009 CHRISTMAS PARADE

December 7, 2009

The 2009 Christmas Parade was held on a sunny December 6, 2009.  Despite the cooler weather an estimated crwod of 10,000 was on hand to watch the parade and gather the candy tossed out by the parade entrants.  Young and old alike seemed to enjoy having a bit of candy come their way as they stood watching the parade.  Officials said they recognized people from surrounding counties that had come to town to watch the parade.  There were 103 entrants in the parade, with 26 judged particiapnts.  Those best representing the theme of the parade seemed to come out on top of the judging. 

The first place "Best Overall" winner was Redwood Ruritan Club with second place best overall going to Franklin Heights Baptist Church Youth Group.  Mount Pleasant Christian Chuch garnered an Honorable Mention.

First place for "Most Unusual" went to Boy Scout Troop #130 & Boy Scouts Pack #130, with second place going to Aladdin Temple III Prince Hall Shriners.   See Parade Page for Pictures.
