Downtown Lindale was dazzling and kids of all ages were delighted as the annual Lindale Rotary Club’s Christmas Parade stepped off at E.J. Moss Intermediate School this past Saturday night.
Shiny floats, costumed characters and the award-winning Pride of Lindale High School marching band entertained hundreds of spectators, lined four and five deep along U.S. 69 before concluding at Lindale’s First Baptist Church.
The night wasn’t over after the parade finished however, as the festivities continued at Picker’s Pavilion which featured holiday-themed decorations and the important guy himself Santa Claus.
City officials, which had their own float in the parade, lit the city’s Christmas tree following the parade.
Earlier in the day, Santa’s Bake Shop was open once again at Lillie Russell Memorial Library where delicious cooks and other baked goods were available for purchase with proceeds going to the Library.
LRML officials said this was one of the best Bake Shops ever, with most of the baked goods being sold before 5 p.m. The shop opened at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
The Library also had a silent auction held in conjunction with the bake sale.
