Christmas Parade

The annual Richwood Christmas Parade kicked off from the North Union Elementary School at 4 p.m., Saturday this past weekend where it made its way through town and ended at the Richwood Park. The event was well attended by local entries and dignitaries, including the Grand Marshall of the parade, Pastor Joe Rhea of the First United Methodist Church in Richwood, being driven by Brad Shearer, pictured above. The parade saw 33 entrants overall, with the North Union Transportation Team’s “NU Polar Express” winning the most creative entry award, pictured below.
