Christmas came early in Stuart on Saturday, as the rain held off until after the 51st annual Patrick County Christmas Parade concluded, delighting parade goers young and old who lined the streets for the event.
Organized by One Family Productions, the parade was led by Grand Marshals – the 2023 State Champion Patrick County High School Baseball team and coaches.
Featured in the lineup were fire and rescue vehicles with sirens and lights, horns of all sorts and antique autos, seasonal sounds by the Pride of Patrick County performing “Joy To The World,” flags, and dancers.
The Grinch and Christmas trees, horses, including one dressed in a pair of overalls, and another accompanied by a dog, and floats of all sorts were also among the entries.
The parade ended with Santa Claus wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. (Photos by Pat Delaney)
