With snow on the ground, carols in the air, and joy in hearts, crowds showed up to view the 2017 Christmas parade in Jay, Fla., Sat., Dec. 9. Despite the colder than typical temperature, parade goers risked the chill to show up to support the local floats made by churches and other civic organizations. After the parade, the festivities continued with Christmas on Commerce where jolly ole' Saint Nick heard the wishes of tots from the area.
