Signs of the Season Annual Christmas Parade treks through downtown CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT If the cold and crowded stores weren't enough, the city s Annual Christmas Parade is always clear evidence that the holi day season is upon us. Hundreds bundled up Saturday evening to watch as the spectacle made its way down Fourth Street and then along Liberty Street. The parade ended at Corpening Plaza, where Mayor Allen Joines and other dignitaries lit the city's colossal Christmas Tree. For the past several years the Winston Salem Jaycees, the primary sponsor of the parade, has worked with the city so that the two events coincide. The parade was jammed pack with floats, Santa Claus waves from atop a fire engine. high school bands, dancers, steppers and marchers from local YMCA and YWCA branches and fancy convertibles carrying wav ing beauty queens and other notables. As is tradition, Santa was the last act in the parade. This year, he waved to kids and "ho, ho, ho'ed" from the top of a fire truck. Santa and much of the parade crowd attended the tree light ing, where the enter tainment kept going. Among the performers at the event were the R. J. Reynolds High School Jazz Band and the North Carolina Black Repertory Company. The grand tree sits in the heart of Corpening Plaza at First and Liberty streets and is lit much of the night. A tuba player performs with others from the Carver High School Marching Band. Mayor Allen Joints waves to the crowd. Fox H anchors Neill McNeill and Julie Luck.
