It was a record year for the Monticello-Wayne County Chamber of Commerceıs Christmas Parade. The annual procession included more than 80 entries and a total of 26 floats. Temperatures were cold, but there was no rain or snow and crowds gathered along the parade route early to find a good place to watch. ³It all went well,² noted Penny Thompson, Administrative Assistant for the Chamber of Commerce. ³We had a wonderful turnout.² This yearıs theme was ³A Star Spangled Christmas² and there was a lot of the red, white and blue among each of the entries. World War II veterans served as Grand Marshals for the 2004 parade. Many of them led the parade in a variety of different vehicles. The veterans paused when the procession reached the Doughboy, as the Wayne County High School Marching Band played the National Anthem. Wayne Countyıs JROTC presented the colors during the tribute. Monticello Banking Company won first place in the float competition. They received $100. Second place went to Girl Scout Troop 554, which received $75. Charlie Batteryıs Family Support Group won third place and a $25 prize. Add a comment |
