Marching bands, glittering floats entertain on Main
“Floats aren’t like they used to be when you stuffed chicken wire with newspapers and spray-painted them,” she said.
Some of the more unique floats included a float sponsored by Joplin Supply Co.
The float, the “Claus Coaster,” had a large, lighted wheel and stuffed bears sitting in toilets.
The Calvary Church of the Nazarene float featured a large, framed house decorated in twinkling blue lights and a band performing holiday songs.
Other parade entries included a horse-drawn carriage, a float sponsored by The Flip Shop that featured someone jumping and doing flips on a trampoline, and a float sponsored by Franklin Early Childhood that had a lighted wand and a rabbit coming out of a box. The float was titled, “The Magic of Christmas.”
Marching bands that participated were Missouri Southern State University, Joplin High School, Memorial Middle School, North Middle School and South Middle School.
The parade finale was Santa Claus on top a fire truck wishing everyone a “Merry Christmas.”
