Recently I attended the Parsons Christmas celebration and I must say this years celebration once again featured a community coming together to celebrate with the true meaning of Christmas on display for all to see.
Every year the city works so hard to make this event a success and once again they managed to pull it off in spades.
If you missed the celebration you missed seeing wood carving demonstrations, sleigh rides, hay rides, free food, free hats and gloves, a fire pit for warming you up, a parade that lasted over an hour, contests, entertainment, and more.
The event featured a light hearted family friendly atmosphere with old friends joking around, mingling, and catching up as children danced with one of the many cartoon characters that were present or enjoyed one of the many free food items provided.
I’d like to take a minute to say thanks to all those who continue to put in the extra effort to make each years celebration bigger and better than the preceding. Your hard work enables the heartfelt smiles that graced the faces of every man, woman, and child I walked past today.
I look forward to seeing everyone at next years celebration.
From my family to yours may your Christmas be merry, may your stockings be full, and may you remember that giving not getting is always the rule.
