From the Mistletoe Market and Grand Illumination Tree Lighting to the annual Christmas Parade, traditional holiday activities in Patrick County got underway in earnest last weekend during Hometown Christmas in Stuart celebrations.
“Strength Through Community” was the theme for this year’s Patrick County Christmas Parade, with Lauren Worley and Kaylee Stanley — who each overcame tremendous odds, selected as Grand Marshals, along with their respective family members.

Youngsters posed with Santa, the man of the hour. He made an appearance at many of the festivities.
The Grand Illumination attracted a large crowd.
The Mistletoe Market.
Horses and riders are always a welcome addition to the Patrick County Christmas Parade.
