The Jones County Junior College dance team, Touch of Gold, lead the Maroon Typhoon marching band in Saturday’s Ellisville Christmas parade.


Great day for parades

By Eloria Newell James, community@laurelleadercall.com

Chad Gilbreaith, owner of Sonic Drive-In in Ellisville, delighted parade goers with free coupons.

Sonic’s car hoppers skated along the parade route passing out the coupons while the Sonic’s Limeade character passed out hugs and high-fives to parade goers.

Gilbreaith said participating in the local parade activities is a way of meeting people and giving back to the community.

“It’s a part of our community involvement,” he said. “It’s a great way to give back. It also allows us to meet our customers.”

City officials, along with various merchants and businesses, from each of the communities greeted the spectators at the parades and reminded them that it’s Christmas time.
