KARNS, Tenn. On Saturday morning, spectators lined Oak Ridge Highway in anticipation of the annual Christmas parade. Some gathered in crowds while others spaced out.
Katie Friar and her family got there extra early to make sure they could get a good spot. The highway gets blocked off and we have a lot of participants, Friar said. So we always come early and set up our our chairs and just hang out.
Friar and her family set up lawn chairs in the grass as they watched the floats go by. The younger kids loved the trucks, helicopters, the Grinch and Santa Clause.
