Last week was the annual downtown Christmas Parade. With the famous reindeer jeeps (famous in El Dorado, anyways) and floats from local business and of course Santa finishing off the night. Even in the cold and blustery weather, hundreds gathered to see the parade and then visit with Santa afterwards.
We want to thank everyone who came out to see the parade and all of those who participated and volunteered for the event. Many El Dorado "lifers" remember the Christmas parade when we were children. In the 70's-90's the parade ended at the Butler County Court House where Santa would then climb to the tops of the steps and hand out candy canes to all of the children. In my memories of that event, it was always freezing cold and many times was snowing, but we went every year. We hope that by continuing the downtown Christmas parade, we are creating these memories for our children for many years to come.
