Hopper Gaddy didn t have to run into the street to get candy at Monday night s Muskogee Downtown Drive-Thru Christmas Parade.
The 11-year-old made quite a haul, though. Clowns, elves and others handed him candy as the car he was in passed along Broadway and Second Street.
He said the favorite part of the parade was all the candy.
Nearly 20 parade entries, including decorated floats, a drum line, Cruis n Angels and a dancing tooth took their places along the parade route as scores of vehicles and a few walkers passed by.
