Christmas comes to town

What pictures represent this week’s news?

Last week, the Spirit of Christmas parade occurred.  The parade usually occurs a few weeks before Christmas.  Companies, schools and churches bring their floats down the parade path to start off the holiday season.

During the Christmas parade, a truck with a bright and shining star makes its way down the path at the parade on the third of December. Yerty Auto Service Inc. drove their sponsor vehicle on the parade route just before one of the people who sat on the back dropped their glove off the truck.

Lights shining bright, a church shows their Christmas spirit in the parade on the third of December. Community Baptist Church drove their truck attached to a float down the road just before the float had to stop due to the congestion of the parade.
