I am glad they still have the parades too, although I must admit we went for the first three or four years and then chose to miss the crowds. The Family ran the parades for many years and then, as it seems to be their business plan, they sold the Entertainment Department to the folks who had been in charge. Just as they sold many restaurants that had originally been under their domain and they closed the Southern LifeStyles furniture store and rented the space to another furniture vendor.


And I too and our whole family thank you for your service.
