This year's Christmas Parade, sponsored by the Winnsboro Chamber of Commerce, will be held on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 10 am - 11 am along the traditional parade route on Main Street.

The theme this year is "A Homemade Christmas."

This is always a a fun event with all the charm that makes small town parades so special.  The kids are wide-eyed and the seniors smile as they sit in their lawn chairs to watch the decorated cars, floats, tractors, horses, band and cheerleaders and even tractors and ATVs roll by.

Here are some pictures from the 2010 parade. . .
