Floats for the first evening Christmas parade in Vicksburg were festooned with bright lights and lots of children. The parade drew over 5,000 to the village on a warm winter’s evening.

Chapman Memorial Church of the Nazarene members volunteered to make and serve cookies and hot chocolate to the hundreds of children and their parents who lined up to speak to Santa during the festivities in Vicksburg.
