Extravagant parade floats light up the night, Float winners announced!

This year’s third annual, ‘lighted’ Christmas Parade — hosted by the Paris Downtown Association — made a bright trek through town on Saturday evening, with many wonderful and artsy floats for the crowds of people gathered to watch.

Being that the parade is a competition for the floats — which represent different businesses, organizations, churches or schools — the float makers really brought their ‘A’-game for this 3rd round of the PDA’s evening Christmas Parade.

Below is the list of winners and another gallery of photos collected around the parade — although they are not all pictured, some of the photos below are winning floats.  Click the thumbnails to enlarge.
