The Centre Christmas Parade held Dec. 1 had more than 80 entries, despite bitterly cold weather and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Categories included floats (by businesses, schools, nonprofit agencies and civic organizations), horses and buggies, antique autos/trucks/tractors, fire trucks from departments throughout Cherokee County, law enforcement vehicles, emergency medical service vehicles, dogs and owners, and Santa in the rumble seat of a 1931 Model A Ford.
The Cherokee County High School Marching Band provided Christmas tunes along the Main Street parade route, as well as a brief performance at the courthouse intersection reviewing stand.
Cash prizes were awarded in three divisions: businesses, schools and nonprofit groups/civic clubs.
