Dressed Up's candy-cane themed float was among the highlights
of Tuesday's downtown Christmas parade. A large crowd lined Main
Street fo" the annual holiday event, which featured children and
grandchildren of active military personnel as grand marshals.
Three soldiers home on break from Iraq - Spc. Donovan Coffey,
Spc. Josh Hamilton and Pfc. Melissa Townsend - rode with the children.
"I just want to thank everybody who came, both the participants
and spectators. Without spectators, you don't have a parade. I
really want local businesses and Mary Ellen and Maurice Moody
to know that I appreciate their help,² said coordinator Betty
Foxx. The parade was sponsored by the town of Sylva and Sylva
Partners in Renewal. - Herald photo by Carey King
