This year’s Christmas Parade was sponsored by the Masons Sincerity Lodge 430 for the first time and by all accounts was a great success. The Dec. 12 event had an estimated record attendance of 7,000 people. The parade had 101 entries and honored Grand Marshals Mattie Pitts and Mattie Middlebrooks. Pictures of the award-winning floats will be featured in next week’s edition.
