Thursday’s Cherokee County Christmas Parade brought a large crowd to downtown Centre. Floyd Emergency Medical Services served as the Grand Marshal this year.

This year’s Parade featured more than 80 entries from area businesses, schools, community organizations, civic clubs, and church groups. The parade also featured antique cars, motorcycles, horses and various public safety vehicles.…..and of course Santa Claus made an appearance, riding atop the City of Centre’s Ladder 9 Truck.
