WINNSBORO – Fairfield County’s Christmas parade was capped
in its traditional way – Santa atop a firetruck in his green ‘Christmas in
Winnsboro’ sleigh.
The parade was highlighted with school floats, nativity
scenes, dancers, the Fairfield Central marching band, local law enforcement,
emergency personnel and local public officials.
Following the parade, Winnsboro Town Councilman John
McMeekin and parade Grand Marshall Daniel Bonds lit the tree in front of the
town clock while the lines for hot chocolate and a visit with Santa grew.
