FARMER CITY -- Some people started their Christmas celebration Sunday. They know it's a little earlier than usual, but people here said it's all part of the tradition. This was the 38th annual event.

A lot of familiar faces walked along the parade route, including Scooby Doo, plus Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Former WCIA-3 News meteorologist, Judy Fraser, made an appearance as well. And of course, Santa Claus came at the very end.
