OAK GROVE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – Community members lined the walking path at Valor Hall in Oak Grove to watch the annual lighted Christmas Parade. Hot chocolate and coffee were handed out to combat the freezing temperatures as kids waited for candy and the arrival of Santa.

Decorated golf carts, vehicles, tractors, first responders and baton twirlers lit up the path, with the big man himself bringing up the rear. After the parade, Oak Grove Mayor Jackie Oliver stood by Santa’s side to flip the switch and turn on the Christmas lights at the walking trail.
