4-H’ers brighten holiday season with Monday evening car parade
Body
Hemphill County 4-H students assembled a colorful Christmas parade on wheels Monday evening and braved the unaccustomed chill to spread some holiday cheer. Their first drive-by was at the Mesa View Assisted and Senior Living, where residents enjoyed viewing the vehicles decorated with Christmas lights and baubles, and filled with an interesting assortment of Grinches; elves; reindeer; and yes, even a human Christmas tree. From there, the procession made its way down Willard and up Cheyenne, and then to Main Street and downtown Canadian. The festive show ended at Brown Bag Roasters where students, sponsors, and parents warmed up with cups of hot chocolate.
