The streets of Lillian were overrun with holiday cheer for the Lillian Optimists Club’s community Christmas parade on Saturday.

            There was so much holiday cheer to go around there were even two Santa Claus' and one Mrs. Claus at the end of the parade!

            The parade, which began just east of the Lillian Café at S. San Pedro Street and traveled east on Highway 98 towards the Florida state line, included a wide variety of floats and attractions.
