Davidson

Everyone Loves a Parade

By Kevin Gilby

Davidson’s Annual Christmas Parade continued to unite friends and families this holiday season. Resi- dents lined the parade route which snaked through town on Dec. 16 in hopes of collecting some candy and maybe sneak a peek at Santa a little bit early. Davidson’s volunteer firefighters, local businesses, organizations and local government all participated to bring joy to the holiday season.

Gene Stangland and Western Sales gave the reindeer a break by driving Santa through Davidson on a John Deere Gator.
The Highway Brothers enthusiasm for the season was overwhelming with its bright lights and smiles.
