Yes, Santa came to Clarksdale early for the annual Christmas Parade. Marching bands, floats, motorcycles, cool cars, City Officials, the Citizen of the Year and many more joined the parade as well, and a great time was had by all.
Here, Clarksdale Mayor Chuck Espy, City Commissioner Willie Turner, Jr., City Police Chief Sandra Williams and Coahoma County Sherriff Charles Jones lead the festive event. (all photos via The Clarksdale Press Register).
