With the lighting of the Marysville Christmas Tree and Uptown Christmas Walk complete, there was only one more event needed to usher in the holiday season locally – Sunday’s Marysville Christmas Parade. Hundreds of people lined the parade route as church and civic groups and members of public service organizations waved and threw candy to area youngsters. Above, the appearance of Santa Claus is the annual highlight of the parade. Below, Riley-Jo Goldsmith, 3, of Marysville, didn’t seem to mind that her Rudolf “antlers” had slipped in front of her face as she viewed the parade from the shoulders of a family member.
