PICAYUNE —
The 2012 Civic Woman’s Club of Picayune (CWC) Christmas Parade rolled Monday, at 6 p.m. as scheduled.
The theme for this year’s parade was “A Patriotic Christmas” which honored recently deployed 857th National Guard Unit and their families. Both the parade and crowd showed their support for the Unit by featuring military members in floats and crowd members coming in their military uniforms.
CWC Parade Co chair Nancy Griffin said, “We had our maximum amount of entries and were thrilled with the community support shown for our deployed troops and their family. It was important to the women in our club to show support not only for the troops, but their families.” Grand Marshall Cindy Murchinson led the parade. Murchinson was the 2012 Club Woman of the Year.
City and County officials also participated in the parade with Pearl River County firemen.
