Alachua Christmas Parade

I want to thank my committee for all their time and hard work and made this year's Christmas Parade a success even if the weather didn't cooperate. We had 65 entries scheduled and about 40 actually participated. I want to thank Clovis Watson, Jr for being our Grand Marshal.  
We awarded prizes to six entries. The prizes were divided between non-profit and commercial floats. The winners were:
Non-profit:
1st Place- City of Alachua- They pledged to use their winnings to buy presents for the kids.
2nd Place- Christ Central Alachua Ministry
3rd Place- Tacachale
 Commercial:
 1st Place- Sandvik
2nd Place- O2BKids
3rd Place- Alachua County Today
I want to express my special thanks to all those who braved the weather to participate and to enjoy the Parade.
