The Main Street-sponsored Fayetteville Christmas

Parade drew an entry of 60 various participants, from walking

Christmas trees and beauty pageant contestants to Scout troops and a

cavalry.

The Fayette County High School band provided the

necessary marching music, along with its colorful flag corps.

Three "Santa's Choice" awards were given in recognition of

the hard work done on the floats. Taking First Place was the Girl

Scout Troop 182; Second Place went to the Southern Crescent Alliance

for Visual Arts, which includes Fayette, Coweta and Henry

counties; and Third Place went to the float put together by the City

of Fayetteville employees.

Stated Main Street Sherry Anderson, "I'm so proud of

this community, both in the numbers of entrants and the

participants who lined the streets with their lawn chairs and watched the

parade go by."
